Friends of Dr. Seuss may know
That the Lorax would often show
His bushy face upon a stump,
Which would often make the Once-ler jump.
He’d scold the Once-ler for chopping trees,
But the Once-ler would say, “Go away, please!”
Then he’d continue chopping with greed,
Turning Truffulas into silly Thneeds.
As the trees came down, one by one,
The forest animals went on the run.
Then the Lorax, with a tear in his eye,
Picked himself up and took to the sky.
A forest without trees is wrecked,
So the Arboretum works hard to protect
All of our wild plants and trees,
So the ecosystem can function properly.
Before the Lorax went away
There was something else he wanted to say
About why it is important to care.
He wrote it on a stone somewhere.
You are looking for a Lorax-colored Nalgene bottle. Best of luck!
