UNLESS

The Lorax stood on the tree stump and said,

"So you think you need a thneed.

My friend, take heed.

These plastic thing-a-ma-jigs litter our beaches.

They make the landfill as high as it reaches."

Mrs. Kulbeda's first and second graders listened,

Then made a collage around where the Lorax stood.

They reused plastic caps, paint and some wood.

He smiled at them, cuz they knew what that one single word meant.

Then off the Lorax went.
