lyrics

Oh Simile, you are the one for me
like a telephone for a TV lawyer
you're all I need
I shun synecdoche
keep metaphor away from me
like Polanski hiding across the sea
Oh Simile

Simile, you're like a fire
ephemeral and hot
Oh Simile, you're my desire
for comparing two things like or not

Oh Simile, you're the device for me
Like Axe Body Spray in a middle school
you're used liberally
and where would hip-hop be
without you? Short a verse or three
condensed like Campbell's brand split pea
Oh Simile

Simile, you're like an angel
even though you're not
Oh Simile, you're like this other
thing I thought of then forgot

Oh Simile, when used judiciously
you're like Hawaii 'cause you punch so potently
we offer thanks to thee
from Robert Frost to Forrest G.
Like one poetic family
