"... on the planet." The planet is a big place to find mean people, so this person must be particularly mean

"Ogre" - ogres are generally thought to be mean creatures who are unpleasant and inconsiderate, so this person must share those traits

"Baton shook its fist" - shaking fists is something that is mean to do, so everything that this person has is also as mean as him

mcosta27 — 2024-05-10 03:30:02 UTC

"the key" - Keys unlock things, so she must be someone who is the solution to a problem.

"Like I was sleeping" - when you are asleep, you don't know what is going on, so the person must have been accidentally ignoring something

mcosta27 — 2024-05-10 03:36:36 UTC

"I don't think I would ever wake up" - essentially being dead, so the person is so tired that it would take forever to burn off the tiredness

"Bed is calling me" - if the bed is calling you, it is trying to bring you over, so the bed must seem really comfortable

mcosta27 — 2024-05-10 03:38:46 UTC

"... is my lifeboat." - people tend to use lifeboats when ships sink, so your grandma is someone you can rely on during hard times

"... like a bloodhound." - bloodhounds have a really good sense of smell, so grandma must be really good at telling how you feel!

mcosta27 — 2024-05-10 03:40:05 UTC

"a billion coins" - a billion is a lot of coins, so you just have a lot of coins

"heavy as the whole bank!" - a bank is really heavy and it's also full of money, so you are trying to say the same thing about the piggy bank
