Recently I was MC at a concert where a friend of mine, Mal Jardine, was performing. In introducing another act I used a simile, but refered to it as a metaphor. Mal heckled me about this, and came over in the break to gloat a bit. This was a mistake as he hadn't yet done his spot.
I had time to construct this intro for him :-
If I say Mal's like an ancient tree,that would be a simile.
But if I say he's an old bore (boar),
That would be a metaphor.
Better than tree or pig by far
He's the folk club's unaccompanied star!
So you see, in the end I let him off lightly :-)
