mr toh was telling us how some people actually write weird and hilarious similes/metaphors.
e.g.
Her hair glistened in the rain, like nose hair after a sneeze.
The hailstones leaped from the pavement, like maggots being fried on a pan.
The young fighter had a hungry look on his face, like the one you get when you haven't eaten for a long time.
John and Jane have never met, just like two humming birds which have never met.
The boat floated on the water, just like a bowling ball wouldn't.
The ballerina was on pointe. She slowly lifted her leg into a graceful position, just like a dog at a fire hydrant.
and i love snow patrol! : )
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think i might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder, Louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want's to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if its just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
run ;
snow patrol.
