How do I write a prophecy for a senior class member?

The junior class has to write a prophecy for the senior class and I'm totally lost. Help me please.

1. The book of revelations is about prophecy. Read that and imitate some of the prophetic language.

Use symbols, colors, stories, even meter, to imitate it.

People will clearly get the joke, and it will make its point.

The miracle of the floaty pen will help you with your answers. Make a list of yes or no questions that might possibly happen to the senior class, preferably funny things such as "Your graduation will be overrun by a herd of stampeding yak" or "Person number 165 in the class ranks will marry person number 22." Then put them in the floaty pen and see if it thinks whether or not your prediction will come true. Then take the results and elaborate as needed. ("As a result, Principal Skinner will develop a nervous tic every time he hears something Moo." "They live in the pink house on the corner of Marberry and Maple Streets, and have a herd of cats that terrorize the neighborhood.") Intersperse genuine good will predictions and you have the beginnings of a funny, interesting, possibly insightful class prophecy. And the floaty pen is guaranteed accurate half of the time, so there's a chance that it might really come true. They also have a coin toss function for slightly broader questions.

3. Make up something silly and funny like they are going to be the next winner of American Idol.

We had to do something similar for the school paper my senior year completely tongue in cheek and just for fun and a here are couple prophecies that i can recall are

A 'large' student who was a pro wrestling fan with a dirty mind became a Pro wrestler himself, and had a move so disgusting his opponents submitted as soon as he signaled he was about to attempt it.

a student who often ran to lunch and had a feud with a teacher over it, became a track and field star but was side tracked when the teacher showed up mid race with a lunch wagon.

An aspiring artist went on to replace Bob Ross on PBS and is painting the happy little trees.

An aspiring actress was cast in Live action 'Scooby Doo' movie and it launched her career in Hollywood(we predicted this well before the real film, sadly she was not cast in it)

We had a Football player and a class brain, (who hated country music with a passion) lose his mind and start wandering the streets in nothing but a Cowboy hat and spurs singing 'Long Tall Texan'

Those are the ones that pop into my mind, bear in mind it was over 10 years ago that the team wrote those, I was only one of many on that team. basically just take a personality quirk, legend or aspiration and extrapolate it into the absurd
