As blind as a bat.
As slippery as an eel.
As wet as a drowned rat.
As dry as a gurnet.
As hungry as a hawk.
As weak as a rush.
As strong as a horse.
As deaf as a beetle.
As drunk as a lord.
As tall as a steeple.
As big as " Bumbo Green".
As thick as a board.
As ugly as sin.
As sweet as honey.
As bitter as gall.
As mad as a hatter.
As rich as a Jew.
As hard as flint.
As nice as pie.
As tough as a gad.
As black as soot.
As white as snow.
As red as blood.
As cute as a pet-fox.
As bold as a banbh.
As sweet as a nut.
As full as a tick.(continues on next page)- Collector
