I’ll call this simile rather than analogy. Because similes most often have the reductionist term “like” to make it official. An extended simile. Insert transition here. Been thinking a lot lately about heads of cabbage. And a term I’ve never heard used and desire to coin: cabbage-headed. To mean those with a 3 lb. entity sitting atop their heads who lack knowledge of how to use their upper storey. Oh the garish cabbage heads follow along as if their la-di-da bootlick will give them some scratch. Bust out.

Oh. Busted. Cabbagehead been around. Me being doltish. “Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart.” “Maybe [I] had too much too fast or just over played [my] part.”
