A Wrap-A-Round Poem

Wrap-A-Round Poem by Seth J. (Sixth Grade)

Armageddon makes me think of destruction

Destruction makes me think of blood

Blood makes me think of hospital

Hospital makes me think of horror

Horror makes me think of games

Games make me think of puzzles

Puzzles make me think of pieces

Pieces make me think of Reese's pieces

Reese’s pieces make me think of candy

Candy makes me think of Lent

Lent makes me think of no candy

No candy makes me think of Armageddon!
