My hair is like a fire
My walk is like a hammer
A hill is like a spike
My home is like a fortress
A door is like a portal
The forest is like a green world
A car is like a robot

My friend is like my sibling
My friend is like my second me
My friend is like a cherry on top
My friend is like sweet ice cream
My friend is like chocolate syrup
My friend is like a cookie
My friend is like cereal
My friend is like chocolate
My friend is like a magical unicorn
My friend is like my partner

My family is like a bunch of aliens
My family is like the sun full of bright kindness
My family is like the sound of happy trees
My family is like ice cream so sweet
My family is like my only best friend
My family is like a flower so colorful

My heart is like a shooting star
A tiger is like thunder
My mom’s cooking is like heaven
A cloud is like a pillow
A beach ball is like a rainbow
A slime is like solid water
A flamengo is like a pink crane
My cat is like a feather

My friends are like another sibling
A cupcake is like a muffin
My mom’s food is like heaven
My little brother is like a monkey
A smelly sock is like a skunk
The clip chart is like a rainbow
A balloon is like a flying ball
Vanilla ice cream is like snow
A unicorn is like a magical horse

A ninja is like a mouse
The sun is like a lightbulb
My laugh is like a dragon
The beanbag is like a giant bean
A green crayon is like a broccoli
Slime is like shaving cream
The sky is like the ocean
