KETCHUP

Ronald Reagan said it all,

And he was an honest man!

Ketchup is a vegetable,

Healthy, tasty and…

If you apply it thick enough

Any food it will enhance.

Lather it on broccoli.

It’ll make your taste buds dance!

It’ll add a dash of colour

To the blandest dish,

Say a bowl of porridge.

However, if you wish,

Even cordon-bleu

Will get a flavour boost

When Ketchup’s gently dripped

On tenderloin au jus.

This subtle gourmet touch

May not the chef endear,

But you’ll be a candidate

For Heinz Man of the Year!
