“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

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!

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.
