- As flat as a pancake.
As blind as a bat.
As cute as a fox.
As cross as a bag of weasels.

As red as blood.
As white as snow.
As green as grass.
As clear as spring water.
As deaf as a beetle.
As straight as a line-ball.
As fast as lightning.
As stiff as a pig.
As stiff as a poker.
As greedy as death.
As hoarse as a drake.
As tough as an old hen.
As sour as buttermilk.(continues on next page)
