Feverish flowery flippant freakish fantailed floozy who needed grounding
Flimflammed, flashed, flipped and flinched a fabulous frugal foundling
Fortuitous flexible frazzled French flamingos flash-mobbed a fernlike finch
On Friinge of this freakish failed flopped frenzy, I received a friendly pinch.
I well recall the old farm pond
With winter ice and fernlike frond
Where I was baptized long ago,
After they scraped a drifting snow
Across the road and field beyond.
There remains an unbroken bond
A boy in white robe warmly donned,
New-born with spiritual glow
I well recall.
The pastor was a fair-haired blond
Years with him I did correspond,
He was my guiding light, although
That was many long years ago
When to Christ's call I did respond,
I well recall.
