As dead as a maggot.
As tender as a chicken.
As long as a wet week.
As grey as a badger.
As cute as a fox.
As high as Mount Callan.
As straight as a whip.
As crooked as a ram's horn.
As long as a late breakfast.
As poor as a church-mouse.
As sober as a judge.
As heavy as log.
As weak as a rush.
As soft as putty.
As green as grass.
As blue as indigo.
As round as a hoop.
As round as a ball.
As round as an apple.
As cross as a tinker.
As long as a ha'porth of twine.
As sour as a crab.
As old as a bush.
As cracked as a goat.
As holy as a strainer.
As deep as the sea.
As short as a nail.(continues on next page)
