- As thin as a whip.
As fat as a fool.
As white as snow.
As for as a fiddle.
As black as soot.
As mad as a march hare.
As wicked as a bull.
As bitter as gall.
As firm as a rock.
As old as the hills.
As sweet as honey.
As crooked as a ram's horns.
As far off asa lighthouse.
As straight as an arrow.
As quick as lightning.
As grey as a badger.
As wise as a fox.
As green as grass.
As hard as iron.
As bad as a witch.(continues on next page)
