Hackneyed

She’s as pretty as a picture And as quiet as a mouse. He’s as blind as a bat And as fat as a house. She’s as stubborn as a mule And as sly as a fox. He’s as wise as an owl And as strong as an ox. She’s as skinny as a toothpick And as slow as a snail. He’s as sharp as a tack And as large as a whale. I could keep this up forever But you know what they say: Nothing ruins someone’s writing Like an overused cliché!

Cute, Ilene. I wrote something along these lines in a poem called "A Body Full of Cliches" if you want to look it up. You came up with a lot more than I did. Enjoyed reading this. Love, Kim
