As stunning as a handbag full of lead

As useful as a nail without a head
As  stunning as a handbag full of lead
As loving as a man who seems quite dead
As tasty as a worm on  mouldy bread

These similes will indicate  to you
My bills arrive and I am getting through
As soon our morals will  be  fried in glue
Love itself will find no avenue.

As loving as a god who died for you
As  acid as a lemon when you’ve  flu
As  powerful as a tiger trapped in  zoo
Love will come and nobody  is true.

The metaphors and similes fly through
The minds of all the children who once knew
That meaning is a story writ by you
Imagination slowly saves the  few
