Song061_Discarded Inventions

This song is in honor of failed inventions, and the ingredients that make great inventors...creativity, persistence, perseverance.

LYRICS: "Human hydro hamster wheels, JATO rocket on a classic car, bird wings fixed with suspenders and glue, drive-thru money-machines for the blind, riding vacuums and dogs with wheels, candle-lit coal mines, robot policemen, meatless meatloaf casserole mixtures, scuba suit laced with hooks and bait, cell phone tazer with defibrillator, pirate cruise-ships, ice fly-fishing, chocolate covered bacon, and aerosol cheeses. Lazer-beam bombs, deep sea jeeps, vegan-friendly cattle, bottles made of leeks, crust-less loaves of uncooked toast, and space ships fueled by jumping beans. You might've failed, but it was fun to watch. You gave it lots of thought, but it wasn't meant to be."

Some of these things I made up, and some of them actually happened. I recently sketched out the plans for a cell phone that has a built-in tazer as well as a heart-rhythm analyzer and defibrillator. I thought that was a practical idea. Chocolate covered bacon actually exists, and I love it. Also, I thought it would be nice if someone invented "vegan-friendly cattle" so our friends, Tim and Kristen, could enjoy meat that isn't tofu.
