Similes

As tired as a turtle running a marathon.

As frightened as a raccoon that has just stolen some old mans groceries.

Gently like grandmother knitting a sweater.

Grey like the sky on a cold and stormy day.

Similies

As sharp as the point of the Eiffel tower piercing into a lonely and vulnerable stag.

As shiny as the suns reflection aiming right into my face.

As relaxed as a couch potato, playing video games.

Intricate like a unique sculpture, standing on the finest stem of all.

Burning like hotcake that has just come out of the steaming oven.

NO MOS Watches

Tik-Tok Tik-Tok I'm going crazy from all of these ticking noises, as I start my last watch for the day. The sharp edges feel like the ends of a pin and the delicate metal as light as a pencil. All of these symptoms creating this amazing watch full of cogs, bras and steel.
