This condiment had a fishy start
its anchovy taste was somewhat tart
given to gents who wanted added flavor
it wasn't till late, there was tomato to savour

early recipes had sweet spices
vinegar and pepper were later devices
so too was the pulpy pasty rind
not the vinagrette thin flowy kind.

it owes its success to HJ Heinz
featured product among other pasty kinds
this was the brand that others would measure
added to fries made global kids treasure.

well I hear that Del Monte had to change Catsup to Ketch-up, so maybe the latter is the better of both..yeas its that thing from which wells of imagination springs
