I’ve never touched velvet but I have had velvet cupcakes

I’ve never seen a scorpion but I have been on a ride about scorpions

I’ve never eaten an apricot but I have eaten a peach. 

I’ve never scored the winning goal but I came second in a race

I’ve never pet a parrot but I have a pet the school chickens

I’ve never met Pie Corbett face to face but I have met him on teaching live

                                         I’ve never written a bestseller but I have written stories for literacy
