When I'd a cold, my granny said
Soak your feet in a mustard bath.
With a spoon of mustard powder stirred
In warm water to ease your cough
Mustard draws your blood to your feet,
Relieves congestion. Spices meat
An English manufacturer, Colman
Concocted a tangy, perky flavour,
Blended brown with mustard white
All for Kings and Queens to savour
To the Polar adventure of Captain Scott
Over a ton for his delectation
Colman donated to his supplies
For frozen meat to aid mastication
"Come on Colman's, light my fire"
Was the ad that won the purse of a nation
In all its forms, dried, powdered, grained
A list to exceed all expectation
Mustard draws your blood to your feet,
Relieves congestion. Spices meat
English mustard with turmeric colouring
Bavarian mustard, rather sweet
Dijon mustardfamed and fiery
Ancient Romans' favourite treat
Mustard added to picnic sandwiches,
Hamburgers, corn dogs, hot dogs too
Used in dressings, glazes, sauces,
Soups, and marinades, grand to chew
It's an ingredient in mayonnaise,
Vinaigrette, marinades, tossed in a pan
Eaten with pretzels, bratwurst, bacon
Kasundi in Bengal, Karashi, Japan
Mustard draws your blood to your feet,
Relieves congestion. Spices meat
Mustard is sold in glass jars, bottles,
Squeeze tubes. It will not mould or rot
Mustard is antibacterial
Mix it up in a mustard pot!
Some brands are mixed with brandy, peach
Arran mustard is made with whisky,
Sweetened with apple sauce, or honey
Cognac flavour, Jack Daniel's frisky
Mustard travels around the globe
Mustard fields of Canada's plains
The sausage carts of Germany,
The elegant eateries of Spain,
There are Confidential Condiment Counsellors
Finding mustards most suited to you
Chocolate, blue cheese, cranb'rry, tequila,
Wasabi, samples laid out on view
Mustard's a useful emetic, diuretic,
Can treat arthritis, rheumatic aches.
May be helpful in healing hearts
Cancer, diabetes, and bronchial quakes
Mustard draws your blood to your feet,
Relieves congestion. Spices meat
