Weather Vane

SKETCH OPENS WITH A BLACKSMITH WORKING SOME WROUGHT IRON ON AN ANVIL. IN THE BACKGROUND YOU SEE WROUGHT IRON GATES, WISHING WELLS ETC.
A CUSTOMER COMES INTO THE FORGE

CUSTOMER
(enthusiasticly)Is it ready

BLACKSMITH
(proudly)Oh yes, and I'm quite pleased with it

THEBLACKSMITH RUMMIDGES AND OFF CAMERA HOLDS SOMETHING UP

CUSTOMER
I was thinking more sort of...cock a doodle do!

FINALLY THE CAMERA ANGLE CHANGES TO SHOW THE BLACKSMITH HOLDING A WEATHER VANE, ON THE TOP IS A HUGE PENIS

Am I missing something here?

Weather vanes usually have a cock on the top

I only got it once you explained it.

A clever twist, but one that's far too subtle.

ohh! 'fraid that had me scratching my head in confusion too, till you explained it.

Think as Winterlight says it was just be too subtle, and you might have to take a more direct route. The addition does make it clearer now, though
