The Catsup Bottle

The Catsup Bottle

First a little
Then a lottle

Ogden Nash 

Ketchup is thixotropic, which refers to its habit of changing from a solid to a liquid when disturbed. Hence the poem, widely (incompletely/incorrectly?) attributed to Ogden Nash: Shake, shake the ketchup bottle. First none will come and then a lot’ll.
