If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa’s going to buy you a looking-glass.
If that looking-glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat.
If that billy-goat runs away,
Papa’s going to buy you another today.Poem A: What is the baby’s father going to buy if the mirror gets broken?Poem AWe would have won…
if Jack had scored that goal,
if we’d had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
if we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
if we hadn’t taken it easy,
if we hadn’t run out of energy.
We would have won…
if we’d been better!Our first football matchPoem C: What sports do you think the speaker is writing about? Did his or her team win the game?Poem C Brother
