Here is his taleThe Once-ler once live in his Lerkim, atop his storeUntil a brave boy came up to his ramshackle doorAnd into the hands of the boy that was braveThe Once-ler a Truffula seed gaveIn hopes to ease his conscience evermoreBut for the Once-ler it was to lateFor his crimes he was doomed by fateTo face the wrath of the LoraxDue to Truffula tree attacksOn came the Lorax, proclaiming “I am priest of Mielikki!”To which the Once-ler responded “Sir thou wert sneakyTo gain a patroness most powerfulThat makes my stomach turn sour-ful”“Once-ler” he cried, “I speak for the treesAnd for this grove that you brought down to its knees,And the for the Brown Bar-ba-lootsWho once played in their Bar-ba-loot suitsSee them arrayed so armored and armed behind meA Bar-ba-rian horde that hath come to claim theeYou smogged up the perfect airWhere the Swomee Swans did fareAnd Gluppity-Glupp-ed the crystal clear pondWhere Humming-Fish resided, alongside the frondThe have returned, to bring you down hardWith their new-found powers, those of the Bard”And so, equipped with magic weapon and mage armorSurrounded by cacophonous sound and glamourDid they march and do warTearing down wall and doorCausing destruction as seen never beforeAnd thus cried the Once-ler “I disavow fate”And did cast a spell, that infamous gateOut from the opening for all to seeWas another horde, the Once-ler familyBlackguards, Assassins, evil fighters, Oh MyAnd accurate Archers, how those arrows did flyAnd thus began the war of the Truffula GroveAnd the spells heated the field, like a hot burning stoveUnfortunately, for the Once-ler clan that is,The Thneed factory was permanently put out of the bizThe Once-ler family was driven far backFrom the concerted attackOf the Lorax’s spell, Great Nebulous FizThe Once-ler, the coward, was found under a chairHoping against hope that none would find him thereBut, alas, he was wrong, and hauled up beforeThe Lorax, who told him what he had in store“Once-ler, for your crimes against this Grove most heinousYour punishment will make you wish you lived on Uranus”Then he heisted the Once-ler and to take leave of the placeThrough a gate on the side, nary leaving a trace.But before they did leave, the Lorax did castMiracle, which caused quite an elemental blastAnd the Grove was restored to glory pristineShining in the sun with quite a holy sheenAnd then they were gone, the Once-ler and LoraxTo dimensions where people are forced upon tacksAnd other forms of punishment direSurrounded by the element of fire.</blockquote>
