It's been a year, or five, or ten but time is relevant so it matters not
But this story just might if you gave it some thought
In these years that passed the old got older
And the truffula trees got greener
Our world was at peace, we appreciated trees
But something will come that will bring us to our knees
Aliens from a world far away
Came to us one autumn day
Soon after things went awry
And our poor truffula trees began to die
All our hard work and the first seed planted
Would all come undone if these aliens weren't recanted
The aliens call from the sky "we're taking over the world
And we need sludge, pollutants, and more to live
We also hate rhyming so we're not doing that
It kinda creeps us out when people speak in rhymes"
The Lorax came back when he heard the news
But without help the world would be doomed
So to the Once-ler he went but he was one step ahead
For he was building a solar powered robot to make the aliens dead
The Lorax was shocked to see such a sight
But the Once-ler was using recycled materials, so it was alright
The Lorax asked "Is this for me?"
"Of course, you're the one who speaks for the trees"
"Speak, not fight" The Lorax said.
Which the Once-ler replied "If you don't pilot it the trees will be dead"
The Lorax checked to make sure everything was environmentally friendly
It all checked out and it was surprisingly deadly
The Lorax climbed in and gave a thumbs up
The Once-ler turns on a screen that displays what was up
Vital signs and more were all there to see
The Once-ler would make sure to keep the Lorax safe and the trees
