Ketchup Poems - Poems about Ketchup

The refrigerator opened by itself tonight Weird because I had closed it good and tight Ketchup bottle fell out to dance along the floor We watched, expecting a few escapees more Maybe mustard and jelly would be along shortly And that apple butter jar that was a bit portly But nothing else flipped out or seemed at all wrong The ketchup bottle...

My roommates Leong, Sophie, (Charles) and I were coming from a Yale sporting event. The sky looked like a dirty Swiffer-mop and the wind seemed to be ignoring the posted 20mph speed limit.

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 Shifting through the stage reality lie Illuminated by...

What clever gadgets we are sold but there are details we’re not told. Just the right squeeze is critical from plastic bottle flexible. Now if it’s straight out of...

My fingernail ran off today with a Ketchup bottle, which was strange. I heard they were headed to Calvary, so I knew it was a bit deranged. The rest of the nails were in cahoots, making fun of her behind her back. I did not know what to make of that, sad at the empathy they lack. She called...

A child scratches a spacecraft in the dust, He does not call it a 'spacecraft' because it is 1911. The Colt Firearm Company has patented the first reliable semi-automatic pistol; it does not look like any other handgun. Decades earlier, Karl Drais invents the meat-chopping machine. Delmonico's has long served breakfast steaks. All at once and singularly, an ethnic sandwich becomes the 'hamburger'. New shapes...
