Heinz 57 Sauce
sweet and savory it does the trick
to add more flavor pour it on thick
grilling chicken or in a recipe
Heinz 57 is the sauce for me
Never bitter or sour taste
some sauces culinary disgrace
More than orange ketchup made for steak
with beef the sweetness goes on great
Flavor pork with a new taste spin
add 57 for a taste bud win win win
Who ever made this a chef supreme
Heinz 57 Sauce for sauces the King.
You'll find no beans from heinz in my cupboard, i'll go for various brands as
The later heinz is quite tasteless oh
Brother.' And sister i'm a'tellin ya's now
When it comes to quality heinz for me
Is like really bad..And wow.! It makes
me almost speechless; that its gone so bad, once
It was a product, that made taste buds..
Well glad.? I'm not full of beans, from that
Firm at least.' Pleased to get that off of
My stomach and tonight i'll sleep in peace.'
“in Heinz sight”
way back
when
the
beginning began
bingo was
yelled
at and
instead
of beano
but beano
is used
to
reduce rudeness
that tries to
be or
not
to be
expelled
First born of eight,Henry Heinz by name
Brought the common bean to worldwide fame-
In business,he kept his faith alive
Renown for the brand,fifty-seven
Eternal remembrance,now,in heaven
Sharpsburg born Henry Heinz (1844-1919). a sunday school teacher

Henry Heinz made ketchup
(First called catsup) long ago,
Plus a host of other products -
Some you'd be surprised to know.
On a train in New York City,
Henry saw an ad for shoes;
There were 21 styles mentioned,
Quite a catchy lure to use.
Since he sold a lot of products,
(Over 60, so they say)
He picked 57, which is what
Their label says today.
He just liked the way it sounded -
In the brain that number sticks -
So it's been that way forever,
(Or since 1896.)
That's the second fact I learned
At the museum* about Heinz,
But the first one really threw me
As a writer of some lines.
On the early cans and bottles,
When he started in the biz,
Heinz included an apostrophe -
The catsup was Heinz's.
Doesn't Heinz sound so much better?
Sometimes advertising moves
Borrow some poetic license
So their product name improves!
*Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh
There once was a gambler called Heinz,
Who needed to pay off his fines;
The right numbers he got
For the lotto jackpot -
Alas all on different lines.
*My experience with the lottery last week
