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
