You're as poor as a man in a cellar
You're as rich as a Rockefeller
You're as wise as a print by Titian
You're as kitsch as Eurovision
You're as bright as the midday sun
You exhaust me like a morning run
You're as high as a cathedral spire
You're as hot as a funeral pyre
You're as colourful as Marilyn
You are a monochrome mannikin
You're as strong as a nuclear blast
You weaken me with your chequered past
You're alive like a chimpanzee
You're as mortal as a fallacy
You're eternal in a relative way
Time will tell if you are what you say
