The Urgent Emergency of Invention
Some one must invent a smart machine right now
To serve peoplekind immediately with a feeder
A device that serves up sunflower seeds with hydraulics
Through a small tube attachment that fits in the mouth
Pumps seeds slowly and efficiently with no spillage
Made of gold and rubber for comfort on the lips
Each tiny kernel must be counted out efficiently
Long trips in luxury requires efficiency when eating
Machines must be marketed for the privileged
Priced for the wealthy far out of reach
Ordinary people can eat with dirty fingers
Seeds are too sophisticated to figure out
The kind of personalities that need everything just right
Just right now they require sunflower feeders power
The Jet set crowd and higher to be precise need this device
Only savages eat seeds with fingers
Sun Flower kernel feeders are a luxury
A must, a necessity of life
Invent them right away, right now
Buy more than one to feel alive
One for the helicopter, home and yacht
They must come in hydraulic yellow
Priced higher than the sky above the clouds
Leave the poor to feed themselves
Don't tell the birds what you have done
They have the sun but not the money
Let them forage for something else
