I invest but I tend to lose my shirt,
my monetary gain is inert as dirt.
I know that ketchup protects me from hurt,
so I stay alert and give the bottle a squirt.
Does this mean I qualify as an extrovert?

Scheme:

Blaspheme,
it's a scream.
Make it a theme,
not just a lame meme.
Say the words in a dream,
with invective and a gleam.
Things are not always what they seem;
your goal is no longer self-esteem.
The place you'll end up will melt your ice cream.

eating blueberry pop-tarts (without ketchup)

Call it a false religion if you must, but most of us are more concerned about those bogus brand fast food condiment packets that commit rampant ketchup fraud.

Enjoying ketchup is akin to hedonism. In fact, our sacramental condiment might just be the perfect dessert, too.

Admit it: You already worship the tasty condiment.
