"A Dictionary of Similes"
As neat as wax, as good as new, / As true as steel, as truth is true, / Good as a sermon, keen as hate, / Full as a tick, and fixed as fate --
Brief as a dream, long as the day, / Sweet as the rosy morn in May, / Chaste as the moon, as snow is white, / Broad as barn doors, and new as sight --
Useful as daylight, firm as stone, / Wet as a fish, dry as a bone, / Heavy as lead, light as a breeze -- / Frank Wilstach's book of similes.
