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