The Spoonbill Generator

I dare the wind to blow contrary to my whim [Anon.]

"Oh, really?" said The Wind to Anon. "In what manner would you like me to blow?" [Vendeisia]

Obliging Zephyr, asks as if it doesn't know? [Anon.]

"Only softly will I lilt, I cannot grant Your wish.." [Vendeisia]

Be tamed, shrew, or ever upriver shall I swim. [Anon.]
