can i have some more Rumble rumble their tummies grumble Squeak squeak... This morning I found only a few seeds left Little Coffee looked at me with begging eyes So I put five seeds in his dish But Coffee asked for more Reluctantly I left ten times the total by the door I divided them to five piles So he wouldn't eat it all at once Coffee put them back together And ate three of the total Then split the rest to seven piles One for each day of the week You may be wondering How many sunflower seeds did he start with? Well, lets look at Coffee's friend Toffee... He started off with the number Coffee had left, which isn't a lot So I gave him the product of three squared and the total But poor young Toffee ate ten sunflower seeds And moaned sorrowfully so I checked carefully And found that the seeds were rotten So I and took out the forty that were nasty Toffee looked at me with begging eyes He seemed to be saying "Can I have just a little wittle more" I only found eight left in the bag And gave it all to him Sick Toffee knew he couldn't eat it all So split them to seven piles Just like his old friend Coffee How many sunflower seeds did Coffee and Toffee start with? By now you should know So tell me, tell me please...
