But
Listen to Gaynor read her poem ...
Oh no! I’ve lost a button but
At least I’ve got my jacket.
The tennis net is broken but
I’ll practise with my racquet.
It’s pouring down with rain but
I can splash in all the puddles.
My friend’s not coming out but
My dog can give me cuddles.
There’s always ‘cons’ in life but
I like to look for ‘pros’!
My trainer’s got a hole but
It’s fresh air for my toes.
I haven’t got a sister but
I like my big half-brother.
My poem’s ended now but
I can always write another.
At least I’ve got my jacket.
The tennis net is broken but
I’ll practise with my racquet.
It’s pouring down with rain but
I can splash in all the puddles.
My friend’s not coming out but
My dog can give me cuddles.
There’s always ‘cons’ in life but
I like to look for ‘pros’!
My trainer’s got a hole but
It’s fresh air for my toes.
I haven’t got a sister but
I like my big half-brother.
My poem’s ended now but
I can always write another.
