Best Ketchup Poems

For hamburgers hotdogs and french fried potatoes
add the sweet savory sauce a gift from tomatoes
Ketchup Ketchup pour it thick
for bland foods it does the trick

Scramble eggs just to plain
Ketchup adds that sweet tang
Steak a little too dry
that's when ketchup applies
Try adding ketchup in your sauce

Kept in the fridges of
kitchens of my land, the
King of Condiments is
Known to enhance french fries!
Kids at heart love it, so
Kick off your morning with
Ketchup on scrambled eggs!

A little bee flew across the sea, to see what he could be
He herd a giraffe with a throaty laugh : still continued on his weigh
This pour we bee had too pee  so he stopped on a Specific Ocean Eyelid
It took him severed ours...

Driving over a bridge

Is a scary affair

Suspended we drive
 
Way up in the air!

If water is liquid

How does it hold us up?

My soup can't even hold 

Just a little ketchup up!

The physics of it all 

Baffles me

But then again

 I'm only three!...

I made myself a masterpiece of a burger for lunch.
Ketchup would be the crowning glory to give it some punch.
I looked in the frig for my ketchup, and to my horror
It was not sitting in its usual corner.

For a moment I panicked, thinking of my...

ketchup on grilled cheese
it won't make you sneeze
and on eggs with cheese
like it scrambled please
ketchup is a must
without any fuss...

My daddy put ketchup on everything.
He would not taste his meat without it,
and he always had meat.

Pizza and spaghetti were things the kids
could abide, but not him.
Chicken on Sunday maybe,
but he wanted beef all the other nights
with lots and lots of ketchup

He did not stop...

A tradition in our house on New Year’s Day each year
Black eyed peas on your dinner plate will appear
A dish guaranteed to bring you good luck
If you want it all year you better eat them all up

I am not a fan of those black eyed...

Ketchup


Keen tastes tomato sauce
Kosher on near all foods
Knockout drenched on french fries
Kindred to the mustard
Kept recapped in the fridge
King size bottle a must
Kindly pass the ketchup

Where to look
When to cook
See me there
Catch a snook
Cut it up
Fill the cup
Want another
Fry it up
Please
No ketchup......

Things need to get straight  

Somewhere there are pearly gates  

Using goodness as bait  

White and mystical  

Healthy and physical  

Then there is standing there in the street  

A man filled with theatrical heat  

Underneath the dark sky...

Crazy.
I thought of those recurring words.
the ones that always come back.
will they one day save me?
nonsense as a simple interjection.
or the last word of an old movie.
the way my mom says 'never'.
or a strange last name.
the brand of a product already out of the market.
and...

Sure.
Ketchup.
Pickle
Horseradish too.

Mayo 
Lettuce?
That’s up to you.

Are your patties thin or thick?
Can I gobble one down right quick?

A touch of butter
A slab of bacon.

Please put them on 
If mine you’re making.

Are your patties thin or thick?
Can I gobble one down right quick?...

(sung to the tune of "The Sailor's Hornpipe")

Tell me what would happen if we were fishing here
and we would fall asleep in the middle of the pier?
Well, we might just roll around and no one there would wake us up
and we would fall into the...
