I walked outside this morning, and it was an ice box
outside.
I entered the building, and they had the heater on,
and it felt as hot as a sauna.
I didn’t eat lunch yesterday, so when I went back to
my dorm, I was as hungry as a horse and chowed down on some ramen soup.
After I got the good score on the test, I was as happy
as a clam.
I was so hungry, I chowed down and ate like a pig.
I took a quiz, and it was a real breeze, so I am
feeling happy as a clam now.
