Eve Roper Poet Pleiades

Notes About The Poem

Food News  

Somehow, the average American eats 71 pounds of ketchup annually. That's more than 1 pound of ketchup a week.

Ketchup Pleiades

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

Demetrios Trifiatis March 10, 2017 at 8:49 AM Kind of kidding dear Eve but the French never use ketchup for they know how to kook! haha! Having spent 20 years in Canada I belong to those who ask to mass me the ketchup! Amusing!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 9, 2017 at 10:07 PM Hah! Awesome. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 10, 2017 at 1:24 AM Yes, loved it! Flooded me with memories of my grandma, who loved her ketchup. In particular the big beach towel someone gifted her, yellow with a bottle of Heinz. Wish I nabbed the towel before the cottage was sold. ;) Eve Roper March 9, 2017 at 11:50 PM Thank the, Maureen ??
