This and That

Clouds in the sky
Fish in the seas
Ants on the earth
With birds and the bees

Black is the night
White as a ghost 
Red like a ruby 
Brown is my toast

Slow as a snail
Fast are the cars
Cold is a corpse 
Not hot like on mars

Soft as a feather
Hard like a stone
Solid like concrete 
Or brittle as bone

High as a kite
Low is our hell
Quiet is silence
Not loud like a bell

Large as an ocean
Small is a pool
Smart like a teacher 
Or dumb as a tool
