Ketchup Keeper

The Keeper of Ketchup stood proud
In her Vault, dripping red like a shroud.
Each recipe filed
With tomato beguiled,
And the archives were viscous and loud.

She misfiled a recipe as “tomato
Poetry”—an archival bravado
That blurred the distinction
Between sauce and conviction,
And the data went red like a motto.

She overdripped ketchup one day
On the metadata—staining the way.
An entire shelf red,
The compliance team fled,
And the tomato tang held its sway.

She chanted slather hymns at an audit—
The focus disrupted, who’d thwart it?
The ketchup flowed free,
The filing debris
Left a trail of tomato. She bought it.

“Slather bold, preserve the tang,”
Was the anthem she lovingly sang.
Each recipe saved,
Each fry’s companion engraved,
And the viscous archives went clang.

Her archives drip with classic charm—
Each ketchup record, kept from harm.
The Tomato Tang Compiler
Made her the reviler
Of any who’d cause data alarm.

She keeps the vault under lamplight,
Each condiment hymn a delight.
The tomato-based data
Is filed pro rata,
And the ketchup flows left and right.

She ensures every fry’s companion
Lives on in a tomato-red canyon
Of archives so deep,
The records won’t sleep,
And the slather remains the companion.

Her bold, comforting tone never wanes—
Each recipe’s legacy remains
In spectral red ledgers,
Through tomato-soaked hedgers,
And the viscous devotion sustains.

So if archives run red at the seams
And the ketchup flows more than it seems,
That’s Keeper at work:
Where the tang doesn’t shirk,
And the condiment reigns in her dreams.
