A Rusty Weathervane
Dust
Must
Blow
Bill
A Rusty Weathervane
Iron oxide clad,
The stoic chicken had
Pointed its bill south
To keep warm its frozen mouth.
Caroline's:
A Rusty Weathervane
Going, going, gone! Still spinning,
Sold! - that baccy geezer, grinning.
Once fortune's bronze-topped finish,
Now junked (yet mystic) cynic.
Now YOU can write your own and submit it!
