Notes About The Poem

I Love My Ketchup

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 dilemma.
This was a disaster, a very huge problema!
Desperately I looked in the pantry high and low,
I just could not eat a burger without ketchup you know!

To my sheer delight, I found a bottle hiding on the shelf.
God did not intend for a burger to be eaten by itself!
Using ketchup on food is like my icing on a cake.
I love my ketchup… a habit I will never break!

Glad you enjoyed it Eric. I like mustard too, but not as well as ketchup :)

I am not a ketchup fan but will have once in awhile. I love my cider vinegar I always have it on my french fries. I did enjoy this poem.

Thanks Darlene. I have never tried cider vinegar, but I doubt I will since I love ketchup on fries. :)
