As dead as a maggot.
As long as a wet week.
As grey as a badger.
As tender as a chicken.
As high as Mount Callan.
As straight as a whip.
As crooked as a ram's horn.
As poor as a church mouse.
As sober as a judge.
As heavy as a log.
As soft as putty.
As green as grass.
As rough as a goat.
As red as a fox.
As round as a ball.
As tight as twopence.
As long as a ha'porth of twine.
As sour as a crab.
As old as a bush.
As holy as a strainer.
As deep as the sea.
As old as Mathusalem's cat.
As busy as a bee.
As heavy as lead.
As bold as brass.
As dark as pitch.
As many colours as the rainbow.(continues on next page)- Collector
