Not to put too fine a point on it, but you do know it is "speech" and not "speach", right?

Kwangjuchicken's contribution reminds me of a stanza from the Tennessee state song:

Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, half coon, other half cat,
Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that.

I count two metaphors and two similes in that one.
