This is the project Anderson and I did this morning.  in 15 minutes he came up seven and I came up with one.

(some of) Anderson's:

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!
