whereonlyangelstread asked: Do you approve of Norma/Once-ler?

It is true that we knew

One another back then,

Though I never told Seuss,

We were very close friends.

tontontonberry asked: I'll do my best to be careful, then. <3

That’s all that I ask,

And please don’t get me wrong.

We’re all thankful to you,

For making us strong.

Your art and your stories,

Most hold such great care,

Such things raise us  up,

Just like life-giving air.

grreengrrl-deactivated asked: So... you're, like, Once-ler Prime or something? All the others stem from you?

That well could be said,

If it’s easiest for you,

Though there’s much more than that,

To the thing that is true.

It is hard to describe,

To a human like you,

I am simply just me, both the old and the new.

Every part is my whole,

And this is whole is just me,

I’m invisible, wizened, as tall as a tree.

I am green and I’m grey,

I am old and I’m young,

And I speak for all parts

With a singular tongue.

tontontonberry asked: I'd listen to anything you said, Mr. Ink-ler. What do you think of all of us on Tumblr?

I appreciate that,

And I’ll tell you just so,

That you’re all like the sun!

We here need you to grow.

Your warmth gives me life,

Raises all those around,

But that same warmth can scorch,

If much care is not found.

I am the Ink-ler, the Once-ler at heart,

I speak for myself! For each yarn and each part you’ve each spun

Have all been quite exciting, and new!

But perhaps now you’ll see me in a slightly new hue.

For I am the Once-ler, a partner of Seuss,

I have lived a long life, as a flexible muse.

I’ve changed quite a lot, from my hands to these gloves,

But each thing is a part of me,

And each part I do love.

I know of you all, of your family anew,

I know what you’ve done, and I’m grateful to you.

I will tell you my story, answer all that I can…..

Providing…you’ll listen….to a strange, inkstained man.
