Funny Simile Poems

These funny simile poems were inspired by a friend's wry comment about how things went around the workplace. Hope you aren't working here! If you are, send us one of your own in iambic tetrameter by using the gold comments block at the very bottom and we can all laugh at it.

A simile, of course, is the practice of comparing one thing to another in language using "like" or "as." Simile examples (minus the poems) are at the bottom for those interested in such things.

Theses funny simile poems illustrate differing personality types as quatrain poems.

John can't sit still, his hyper ways
Cover ground like soccer plays
He's fast in other realms, I've heard,
The man is like a hummingbird
Good old Bob, he's like a mule
Though skies are rainy, gray, or cruel
What must be done, he'll never shirk
Yoked to his piles of paperwork
See the lampshade over there?
The one that Mike will surely wear
When, faster than a comet's wish
He'll knock six drinks back like a fish.
Funny Simile Poems 01

Hurry up and get in line
And fill your plate while there's still time
For Jenny's getting pretty big
Which comes from eating like a pig.

The office jackal plans a feast
That sweet young thing, his wildebeest
Who, tipsy, safe within the herd
Is led astray with flattered word.
Simile Examples:
He fights like a lion.
As surely as the sun rises
She swims like a dolphin.
He slithers like a snake.
As black as night
He runs like a cheetah.
She kicks like a mule.
As sure as death and taxes
He flopped like a fish out of water
