I am speechless!
The only word I can muster is:
INTERMEDIATE

The Pirate Ship
As I sleep alone upon the sea shore,
I dream of a pirate ship taking me forth.
They thought me a vagabond, a robber, a thief,
And so I was made Commander-in-Chief.
I was no longer dreaming, this life became real.
I’d become a true legend with a cutlass of steel.
My treacherous mission was one to admire.
The buccaneer, Blackbeard I was to acquire.
The Americans, his captors would not set him loose.
My plan was to save him from the hangman’s noose.
As Blackbeard, the pirate hung from the rope,
I sent my blade flying, to slash it with hope.
I had finally accomplished my dangerous goal,
The captain awarded me with a flag on a pole.
And then I awoke once again on the shore.
With the flag lying next to me, was I a pirate? An outlaw?
