Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
HYPERBOLE
-A hyperbole is a type of figurative language. It is often confused with a simile or a metaphor because it often compares two objects. The difference is a hyperbole is an exaggeration. For example:
His feet were as big as a barge. It looks like a simile. It is comparing foot size to the size of a barge. Everyone knows that a barge is approximately 700 feet long. Imagine getting a pair of shoes that big!

A head or tail - which does he lack?
I think his forward's coming back!
His feet are as big as a barge
I nearly died laughing,
I tried a thousand times
I could sleep for a year
Hiis box weighed a ton
I've told you a million times not to exaggerate
I'd rather take baths with a man-eating shark
I've told you a million times you exaggerate!
I will skin you alive
Your mother is so small she does chin-ups on the curb.

Published poem:
Homework! Oh, Homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you away in the sink,
if only a bomb
would explode you to bits.
Homework! Oh, homework!
You're giving me fits.
I'd rather take baths
with a man-eating shark,
or wrestle a lion
alone in the dark,
eat spinach and liver,
pet ten porcupines,
than tackle the homework,
my teacher assigns.
Homework! Oh, homework!
you're last on my list,
I simple can't see
why you even exist,
if you just disappeared
it would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
