As brave as

He was as  upright as a  willow tree in a gale
As tender as a Brazil  nut left over from last year
As kind as a  mad tiger in a small  cage
As brave as a  new born kitten
As eloquent as a recorder.
As musical as a mute cello
As tall as the dog
As well read as a cornflakes packet
In short,he was the man I was not waiting for.
I always knew I would recognise him when I met him
