I have never been to Mount Everest

But I have been to the steep Castle Hill.

I have never swam ten laps around the crystal clear Atlantic Ocean 

But I have front crawled ten laps around my swimming pool.

I have never been on a  frightening ride at Alton Towers 

But I have been to Brandon Country park.

I have never stroked a venomous Cobra

But I have stroked my friendly pet snake Max.

I have never been to Greece to see the ancient ruins

But I have seen majestic parts of France

I have never been to Centre Parks

But I have climbed at Go Ape.

I have never petted a wild Lion in the dried African plains

But I have stroked my Lion-like cat in my garden as she  

Was trying to sunbathe in the hot sun
