    haggard with corn and hay.
    Too many cooks spoil the broth.
    As lucky as a black cat.
    As white as the driven snow.
    As red as a coal.
    As black as a boot.
    As green as grass.
    As grey as a badger.
    As blue as the sky.
    As strong as still.
    As long as a wet week.
    As hoarse as a cuckoo.
    Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
