FIGURES OF SPEECH
Slow as cold molasses
Dark as pitch
Stiff as a poker
Clear s a whistle
Solid as a rock
Dry as a bone
Stunned as a bat
Deaf as a doorknob
Smart as a bee
Far as ever a puffin flew
Thick as tar
Flat as a pancake
Black as coal
Hard as nails
Bold as brass
Like a cat on hot rocks
Crazy as a loo
Like a birch broom in the fits
Leaky as a basket
Lonesome as a gull on a rock
Rotten as dirt
Round as a barrel
Smokes like a tilt
Drinks like a fish

WEATHERLORE
Red sky in the morning is a sailor's warning;
red sky atnight is a sailor's delight.
Brilliant northern light foretell a fine day and then a storm.
Hard frost is a sign of south wind and rain.
When gull's fly high, stormy weather is nigh.
When goat's come home from the hill's expect rain soon.
When distant hill's appear near, rainy weather is on it's way.
Rote from the shore on a clam night indicates wind
from that direction the following day.
When the wind is in the east, its neither good for man or beast.
