I have never blasted in a hot air balloon to Space,

but I have been on a plane to Spain.

I have never tickled a lions stomach,

but I have stroked my black kitten Oscar.

I have never skydived,

but I have seen my blue budgie fly through my house gracefully.

I have never been part of an expedition to Antarctica,

but I have done my homework in my cold conservatory.

I have never been able to fly,

but I have leaped so high on my trampoline that it felt like my head was  in the clouds.

I have never seen the past, 

but I have been to Norwich castle and seen old priceless Artifacts.  

I have never climbed the elegant Eiffel tower in Paris,

but I have been rock climbing 

I have never swam with a shark,

but I have kissed a dolphins rubbery grey skin in spain at Marine land.

I have never seen a massive mammoth’s tusk on the west Runton beach,

but I have collected  fossils on the sandy shore.

I have never written a story,

but I have written from start to finish the poem
