As dead as a maggot.
As tender as a chicken .
As long as a wet week.
As grey as a badger.
As straight as a whip.
As crooked as a ram's horn.
As long as a late breakfast.
As poor as a church- mouse.
As heavy as a log.
As cross as a cat.
As round as a hoop.
As long as a ha'p'orth of twine.
As sour as a crab.
As old as a bush.
As cracked as a goat.
As holy as a strainer .
As lively as a bee.
As clean as a new pin.
As yellow as a soverign.
As round as a ball.
As cold as ice.
As high as Mount Callan.

As green as grass.
As blue as indigo.
As brown as a berry.(continues on next page)
