Ode to the Forgotten Ketchup Bottle
I am the Forgotten Ketchup bottle.
I am nearly empty, yet still I sit in the back of the fridge,
never being grabbed.
I have long since been forgotten in favor of the new
Heinz 57 with goop-proof lid.
I sit, the Forgotten Ketchup bottle.
Do not forget me, because my lid is cracked,
Do not forget me, because I am dripping with juice.
Do not forget me, as the ketchup levels drop in the other bottle, lower, lower,
Do not forget me, please.
Other bottles come and go, yet I remain.
Does it make me wanted?
Does it make me irreplaceable?
Your carefully manicured hand reaches for me, and my heart leaps
In it's plastic encasings, at last!
But your hand betrays, as I pass your hamburgers, unused, and slip silently in to the trashcan.
In the deepest recesses of my black, plastic tomb
I hang upside down, surrounded by my fellow, forgotten foods
I weep tomato juice tears in silence

He sits still, in his dark, claustrophic grave...
His replacement stands proud, being useful, at the front of the fridge

Yeah, I used him frequently, but then I was gone for two weeks, and he was forgotten at the back of the fridge, so I just threw him away. We have WAAAAAY too much stuff in our fridge, anyways
I'm sorry ketchup bottle. I still would have used you. your mustard-y cousin though, I shall never touch. lol
