Tomato sauce
From Sunday lunch and beans on toast
To lasagne the meal I love the most
One thing is a must that is of course
A bottle of the finest Heinz tomato sauce
Not a phase, not a fad, though it drives people mad
An ever present accompaniment to every meal I’ve ever had
A blend of ingredients and the finest tomatoes combine
To make a smooth, silky sauce, that’s simply sublime
Never use value, always buy the best
No substitute sauce will ever pass the test
A metaphoric al chameleon, it suits any food
Setting the scene creating the mood
So right in so many ways, so perfect in the role it plays
The cherry on the top, icing on the cake
Adding the finishing touch to whatever you make
But don’t get me wrong, I can go without
Some meals are great as they are, of this there’s no doubt
But like a friend it’s there when you’re in need
Flowing gently from the bottle, never at speed
Caressing the food, adding a unique twist
So seductive it would be hard to resist
Whatever your view or judgements made in haste
This finest of sauces is not too everyone’s taste
But for those of us who warm to its charms
This is one sauce I will always welcome with open arms
