Tell us three facts about yourself, Anon, and we'll find you a metaphor.

You could say, "I am brainless."

or you could say, "I have a razor sharp wit."

You could say, " I am a dwarf."

Or you could say, "I am a giant."

Or you could say, " I am a lonely little petunia in an onion bed."

If at first you don't succeed sky-diving is not for you.

In fact, "I have to write a metaphor about myself and I'm lost" would do the trick.

You could try mixing metaphors Anon, which always makes it more interesting, such as:-

"I always hit the nail on the head when I strike the right note,"

chorus 1)
You're the top!  You're the Colosseum,
You're the top!  You're the Louvre Museum,
You're a melody from a symphony by Strauss,
You're a Bendel bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet,
You're Mickey Mouse.
You're the Nile, You're the Tow'r of Pisa,
You're the smile on the Mona Lisa.
I'm a worthless check, a total wreck, a flop,
But if, Baby, I'm the bottom,
You're the top.
