  As neat as wax, as good as new, As true as steel, as truth is true, Good as a sermon, keen as hate, Full as a tick, and fixed as fate— Brief as a dream, long as the day, Sweet as the rosy morn in May, Chaste as the moon, as snow is white, Broad as barn doors, and new as sight— Useful as daylight, firm as stone, Wet as a fish, dry as a bone, Heavy as lead, light as a breeze— Frank Wilstach's book of similes. |
