So I woke up this morning, and my subconscious, which had apparently been up all night working feverishly, immediately handed me this little gem:

 

Anchors aweigh, mate

Drink up, me hearties, yo ho!

The wind is with us

 

I have dreamed in technicolor, stereophonic, and overall highly detailed and accurate sensory experience. I have dreamed in Spanish, ASL, Japanese, and Gibberish. I have dreamed a few times in epic format, and once or twice I’ve even dreamed in rhyme.

 

But this is the first time I have ever dreamed in haiku.

 

The pirates, on the other hand, are pretty much a given.
