1. Deep in the Grickle-grass

    And deep in the Grickle-grass, some people say,
    if you look deep enough you can still see, today,
    where the Lorax once stood
    just as long as it could
    before somebody lifted the Lorax away.

  2. This thing is a Thneed

    "Look, Lorax," I said. "There's no cause for alarm.
    I chopped just one tree. I am doing no harm.
    I'm being quite useful. This thing is a Thneed.
    A Thneed's a Fine-Something-That-All-People-Need!
    It’s a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat.
    But it has other uses. Yes, far beyond that.
    You can use it for carpets. For pillows! For sheets!
    Or curtains! Or covers for bicycle seats!"

    The Lorax said, "Sir! You are crazy with greed.
    There is no one on earth who would buy that fool Thneed!"

  3. Biggering

    I meant no harm. I most truly did not.
    But I had to grow bigger. So bigger I got.
    I biggered my factory. I biggered my roads.
    I biggered my wagons. I biggered the loads
    of the Thneed’s I shipped out. I was shipping them forth
    to the South! To the East! To the West! To the North!
    I went right on biggering...selling more Thneed’s.
    And I biggered my money, which everyone needs.

  4. The last of them all

    And at that very moment, we heard a loud whack!
    From outside in the fields came a sickening smack
    of an axe on a tree. Then we heard the tree fall.
    The very last Truffula Tree of them all.

  5. UNLESS

    The Lorax said nothing. Just gave me a glance.
    Just gave me a very sad, sad backward glance,
    as he lifted himself by the seat of his pants.
    And I'll never forget the grim look on his face
    when he hoisted himself and took leave of this place,
    through a hole in the smog, without leaving a trace.
    And all that the Lorax left here in this mess
    was a small pile of rocks, with one word...
    UNLESS.

  6. The word of the Lorax

    But now, says the Once-ler, Now that you're here,
    the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
    UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    nothing is going to get better.
    It's not.
