  1. Apocolypse
  2. Dumbo
  3. Collegues
  4. Minister
  5. Straight-legged

The Sentence:

They didn't know long they were going to stay there

My Poem:

They didn't know long they were going to stay there
They didn't know what they were going to do
They didn't know anything, really
Apocolypse seekers all
they gathered together in church-like places
acting like Dumbo
No, not flying with huge flappy ears
but they acted like they were in a circus
straight-legged pants were common
some of them dressed like clowns
collegues of some sort
who really didn't know
what was going on
Somone decided to be a minister.
he grabbed a likely pulpit and said
Hey, let's order a pizza
with pepperoni
so they did.
