उत्तर

In a world where simple things can be found,
Here's a tale in similes, round and round:

As dry as the land, under the sun's rays,
As wet as a puddle after a rainy day.
As slow as a snail, creeping on its way,
As fast as a rabbit, in fields, it plays.

As hot as a fire, burning so bright,
As cold as ice, in the still of the night.
As light as a feather, floating in the air,
As heavy as rocks, here and there.

Like leaves in the wind, dancing with ease,
As still as a lake, without a breeze.
In our world of similes, simple and true,
We find joy in the old and the new.
