‘Imagine if I was loaded with brass in pocket,’ thought the boy. ‘I should be so lucky!’ But his father said ‘I owe you nothing, but I shall give you everything I own. You win again! Don’t leave me this way… oh, and wake me up before you go go.’
‘Papa don’t preach!’
Father watched him go, saying ‘Nothing’s gonna change my love for you. You’ll be always on my mind. True. I’m never gonna give you up. That’s the power of love. Don’t you want me?’
The father’s wealth was (after the final count) down to ner ner ner ner nineteen out of 30, as he gave him one third.
Off went the lad to a town called malice, to a house of fun, where there was mistletoe and wine; perfect, red, red wine and where the phrase ‘It’s a Sin’ caused a chain reaction with a woman, a jealous guy and desire. ‘What’ll I do with the cash?’ he thought; ‘use it up and wear it out!’
The place came under pressure as the food ran out, and the boy wondered ‘Is there something I should know?’ Hallo, I should have known better than to end up wanting pigfood. Like a prayer, he thought ‘I shall go home - it’ll be just like starting over’.
The Spirit in the Sky took him to the Edge of Heaven. There must be an angel at work.
He was on his way home, (when the going gets tough, the tough get going) thinking about his father ‘I’ll be working my way back to you by the power of love. I’ll ask to be a servant - since he might say “don’t stand so close to me!” but I suppose I there won’t be a little peace. I really am the Coward of the county. I know him so well!’
‘Take my breath away!’ cried the father, who saw the boy when he was still a long way off.
‘I knew you were waiting for me’ said the boy, untruthfully.
‘Move closer. Here’s a ring, especially for you, Frankie. Here’s a coat and some shoes (you’ll never walk alone) since I have a good heart and I’ve been saving. All my love for you - you got it! - only you! Let’s party! My son was dead, but now he’s back to life!’ And there was dancing in the street.
