Metaphorical snippet

The tanned, lanky, ear-ringed young Captain of the golf team strode brazenly into the shining, Italian-leather furniture room, armed with the arrogance of privilege and perfectly symmetrical, bleach-tipped porcupine quills.

He pretentiously bantered with the bubbly, babbling, tightly-curved sole family heiress as her impeccably maintained volume of protein and shine bobbed and swayed in rhythmic agreement with the Captain's surface-skimming worldly assertions.

A closing clarification by the Captain...a lonely stranded orphan...hung raw and exposed in the blistering cross-fire of family glares:

*record skips*

The Head, the Master, Daddy Warbucks, King of the Court, El Presidente, Call Me "Sir" himself, barreled into the crowd of innocent bystanders and slowly, deliberately bellowed:

We don't use META-phors in this house, boy!

You could cut the tension with a knife. The scolded rodent slunk humbly out of the room as his taught seashell necklace buoyed the guilty lump in his throat.
