Varsity Metaphors by Assistant Coach Bill Kenley CC02
Robbie Bullough
There was this guy who played
for the Boilers.
He looked slow. He couldn't shoot either.
But when it was game time? Watch out.
The man was made for the moment that mattered.
Peyton Groff
Still waters run deep.
There is a lake many people visit.
They have picnics there. They tell each other, "It's a nice lake."
Nobody has ever seen the bottom.
Kevin Skinner
Watching an unmanned car roll slowly away can be fascinating,
as long as nobody gets hurt.
You just hope it rolls into a ditch, and we can all laugh about it later.
Mitch Tharp
The young colt doesn't know
it knows what it's doing yet.
But it wants to run with the herd.
It knows.
Alex Ward
Some movies are nice and sugary.
You smile and forget them in ten minutes. (Hope your brain doesn't get
cavities.)
Others are harder to watch, but you remember them - they make your heart
stronger.
John Pitney
My uncle has a pick-up truck that has over 200,000 miles on it.
He says it runs stronger every year.
It kind of leans to one side, but he doesn't even notice that anymore.
Nathan Poynter
When you see a float pass by in a parade. It appears to hardly be moving
at all. Step in front of it, and you'll understand the forces at work.
Colin Whitman
I like visiting here.
There are so many rooms in this house… They're all different colors
-
some bright, some dark.
Most of them are unfinished.
Pat Smith
Sometimes it's hard to believe that a mansion is made of individual
bricks, and that a person had to painstakingly put each of those bricks
in place. It's a good thing the builder had vision!
Brent Watson
There are good things about a microscope. It can focus very closely
on minute details. You can see things other people don't even know exist!
But you shouldn't try to use one as you walk down the street.
Adam DeMasie
One day a boy woke up to find
The tree on his front lawn had disappeared. It was completely gone.
He'd never noticed it before.
Michael Paxton
"Every tree is different." Said the biology teacher to his
class.
"They're all unique, and you can't qualify uniqueness."
"Yes, but this one's special." I replied.
Matt McDonald
Some people order chicken at a restaurant. Some people go out on a limb
and order fish.
Some people eat the tablecloth, just to see what happens.
