Do you remember the Titanic?
The movie has brought it fame,
The loss of life was tragic,
But did ya know there was Mayonnaise?

Hellman's Mayonnaise was from England,
The ship had a million jars,
It was lost in the sinking,
Sandwich lovers grieved afar.

The whole world mourned at the loss;
"How will we make salads with our potatoes?"
So they made a day of mourning,
And called it "Sinko de Mayo"....

Not just a great poet, but a bone fide humorist as well!

are you sure the mayonnaise was hellman's? my recollection of english "mayonnaise" starting with the letter h and the double ll was hollingshead...and parts of that story will not be found on the history channel, either.

it was two spoons of hollingshead that turned the prince of frogs into a toad...and that, too, is missing from the history channel.
