Poetry.

Old Sayings:
As poor as churchmouse.
As thin as a rail:
As fat as a porpoise.
As rough as a gale;
As brave as a lion
As spry as a cat:
As bright as a sixpence.
As weak as a drowned rat.
As proud as a peacock,
As sly as a fox :
As mad as a March hare,
As strong as an ox;
As fair as a lily,
As empty as a drum:
As rich as Croesus,
As cross as a bear.
As pure as an angel,
As neat as a pin:
As smart as a steel-trap,
As ugly as sin:
As dead as a door-nail,
As white as a sheet;
As flat as a pancake,
As red as a beet.
As round as an apple.
As black as your hat
As brown as a berry.
As blind as a bat;
As mean as a miser,
As full as a tick;
As plump as a partridge,
As sharp as a stick.
As clean as a penny.
As dark as a pall;
As hard as a millstone,
As bitter as gall;
As loose as a fiddle.
As clear as a bell:
As dry as a herring,
As deep as a well,
As light as a feather,
As hard as a rock:
As stiff as a poker.
As calm as a clock.
As green as a gosling,
As brisk as a bee:-
And now let me stop
Lest you weary of me.
