I demand similies!→[More:] I demand them like Paris Hilton demands diet cocaine!
I crave beer like a wino also craves beer.
I, a wino, wish for beer like a man who has just arrived at his stupid job craves death. As soon as I demolish this desk I will have beer.
I love you like a whisper
I love you all alone
I love you like a murder babe
I'm burying the bones
I love you like the last shot
At the bottom of the bottle
I love you razor valentine
I love you like the dancing dust
I love you like the static
I love you like the tarmac
Loves the kiss of morning traffic
I love you like the factory smoke
Wraps it arms around the sky
I love you razor valentine
Oh I've been moving kind of slow don't you think so
Oh I've been taming bloody hearts into valentines
I love you like a ruin babe
I love you like a crime
I love you like a drunk
At the sound of closing time
I love you as the seconds on my tongue
Are running wild
I love you razor valentine.
Your metaphors have slithered and blistered
Your similies are like an unturned on light
The rhymes that you use are both ineffectual and crude
Your alliteration alludes to not quite alright.
Well, I was never a huge Alexander Pope fan, seanyboy, but he hits the spot here:
'Tis hard to say, if greater Want of Skill
Appear in Writing or in Judging ill,
But, of the two, less dang'rous is th' Offence,
To tire our Patience, than mis-lead our Sense:
Some few in that, but Numbers err in this,
Ten Censure wrong for one who Writes amiss;
A Fool might once himself alone expose,
Now One in Verse makes many more in Prose.
