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
