- As white as snow.
As stiff as a poker.
As fat as a barrell.
As dead as a door nail.
As proud as pounch.
As cold as ice.
As cross as a lion.
As light as a feather
As black as the Earl of Hells waistcoat.
As soft as jelly
As big as a house
As flat as a pancake.
As straight as a rush.
As old as the hills
As weak as dishwater
As long as a pole
As red as blood
As hard as hell
As soft as butter
As cold clay
As swell as sugar.(continues on next page)
