(: Read and Review
I honestly don't know what I was supposed to suspect.
It all started on a bright note,
The barbaloots in their fuzzy coats
And the swomee swans chose to neglect
The day's silence with their song.
And the humming fish sang in their little ponds.
I was doing the usual, hiding in my tent made of recycled truffula trees.
When a guy named Once-ler, came upon me.
He was tall, and thin, wearing silly stripped jeans,
And wore a hat on his head, bright grey-blue eyes keen.
It started off nice, him the forest's creatures and I.
Then something happen-I still don't truly understand why.
Once-ler had an idea, some ridiculous idea about something called a Thneed,
And how it was something everyone would need.
He did it when I had my backed turned,
He chopped down a tree without one single word.
I was shocked and appalled, how could he do such a thing?
Before I could berate him, there was a sound..a kind of a ping.
The sky quickly darkened, clouds coming fast.
Once-ler didn't notice, focused on his task.
Lightning struck, the wind picked up,
And suddenly..there was..a little orange puff.
Coming out of the tree stump!
I swear that it's true!
What happened after that...
Well...
I guess I'll start again and fully explain to you..
