You missed creative writing class today,
but don't worry about it. It's okay.
Similes were on today's agenda,
and I took notes which I will lend ya.
I'm happy to be of assistance.
Let me give you a "for instance".
The ocean is like the desert, friend,
Like my poems, they have no end.
Of course, the desert is a little hotter,
and the ocean has a lot more water.
Sailing makes you sick? Okay, smartie,
riding on a camel ain't no party.
Both of these are the kinds of places
where you get lost and leave no traces.
You just want to get home for dinner.
How's that for a simile beginner?

Damn proud of myself, the kids puzzle I bought once
On the box it read 3-5 years, but I finished it in 18 months
How about that my cronies
Jealousy's showing you phonies
Bet you wish you were a smartie-pants like this bum<>

Didn't realize how bad his affliction was
His train left the station, he's got too many flaws
He sure ain't a smartie
His aura is faulty
As well he's probably broken every damn law

O' HENRY'S my name and me and my dog CHUNKY, the SLO POKE dog, wanted to go on a shopping spree on 5th AVENUE since it was PAYDAY. It was a nice ride and the scenery was beautiful, especially the SNOW CAPS in the distance.
However, our trip was cut short when we broke the WHATCHAMACALLIT on the car when we hit a patch of ROCKY ROAD. BAR NONE, that was the worst road I have ever driven.
We were broke down on a remote country road and we could see ZERO help in any direction. I was worried that we were stranded but just then a JOLLY RANCHER with his two NERD sons, MIKE and IKE, pulled up and asked if they could help.
I explained our dilemma and I heard Mike and Ike SNICKER and say we were AIR HEADS with BUTTERFINGERS. They towed us to a garage and the repair estimate was 100 GRAND, after all we were driving a Lamborghini. The mechanic fixed the car and I promised I would pay NOW AND LATER.
That didn't go over so well and the sheriff has me serving HOT TAMALES and BOSTON BAKED BEANS in the county jail. The moral of this story is don't be a SMARTIE and tell a bunch of WHOPPERS.

Time for some silly nonsense
Cause I'm feeling extra silly
Sometimes it just overtakes me
But this time it's a dilly
Maybe I'll put a shade on my head
Pretend I'm at a party
Maybe tell some off colour jokes
Or dress up like a Nestle's Smartie
Might even perform some ballet
In my pretty pink tutu I'll frolic
Or prance around in my birthday suit
Like an out of control alcoholic
Hey now I'm getting into the mood
Better hide the little kiddies
I lose control when I feel like this
My head spins and I get all giddy
There's really only one thing I can do
When this takes over my bod
Go lie down for a couple of days
D'ya think I'm kinda odd?
