) Read the poem carefully and answer the following questions:
I used to play at pirates
And sailed the seven seas.
Then I was a cowboy,
These simple things did please me.
I had a vivid imagination,
Adventure was always on my mind.
I discovered the joys of reading,
And escaped the daily grind.
Once I lived with the Eskimos,
In the land of ice and snow.
Went hunting and a fishing,
My fantasy was all aglow.
I read a book of Jules Verne,
And went off to the moon.
It was just to take a look,
Then it was time to return.I spent time in the forests of Africa,
With Dr. Livingstone as my guide
Then off to America,
With Huckleberry Finn I did hide…
In my world of fantasy and imagination,
I performed such wonderful deeds.
A hero of all the Nations,
I was the one that did succeed.
Then I grew up, my childish world at an end.
I had become serious it nearly drove me
Around the bend.
I still do like the mysterious,
This is the message I am trying to send.
