[stylist] Twitter poem, just for fun

Mon Sep 15 00:25:35 UTC 2014

Hey Bill,

Nice rhyme.  It brought to mind an event here in Wisconsin that includes mustard custard.  There must be a poem or a story in here somewhere."

How about, "When I roast a bustard I use a glaze of mustard.

Here is the press release showing that reality is sometimes stranger than the imagination:

America’s Favorite Condiment Museum!
SALUTE TO THE SUPERCONDIMENT:
NATIONAL MUSTARD DAY, SAT., AUGUST 2, 2014

MIDDLETON, WI -- The intersection of Hubbard Avenue and Parmenter 
Street in Middleton will be awash in yellow as the National Mustard Museum 
hosts its 24th annual National Mustard Day celebration on Saturday, August 
2, from 10 am to 4 pm. Last year’s event drew an estimated 6,500 mustard lovers 
and even more are expected to attend this year. Admission is, as always, free.
The family-friendly salute to the King of Condiments will feature live music, mustard 
games, mustard painting, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, and “free” Oscar 
Mayer hot dogs — 
free if slathered with mustard; donations are encouraged. Proceeds 
from the games and hot dog donations will benefit the nonprofit National 
Mustard Museum and LOV Dane, an area grassroots organization that brings 
together individuals with disabilities, their families and community members, for 
the purpose of building fulfilling community centered lives for all citizens. Games 
include Mustard Ring Toss, Fishing for Mustard, and the Mustard Wheel of Fortune. 
A rock-climbing wall will test the mettle of all who aspire to new heights. 
Culver’s Frozen Custard, headquartered in nearby Prairie du Sac, WI, has 
again created a fresh frozen Mustard Custard, available exclusively at the Mustard 
Museum and only on National Mustard Day. “It was a big hit last year,” 
says Patti Levenson, aka Mrs. Mustard, “and this year’s mustardalicious creation will be another taste sensation.”
Representatives of several mustard makers will be on hand to sample some of the world’s most distinctive mustards. 
The always popular POUPON U Accordion Band will kick off the day’s activities and local favorites Funky Chunky 
and the Red Hot Horn Dawgs will provide top-notch musical entertainment.
Major Museum sponsors Grey Poupon and French’s, along with dozens of other mustard makers and mustard fans, 
have all contributed to make this year’s National Mustard Day one of the country’s most important food festivals.

SALUTE TO THE SUPERCONDIMENT: 
NATIONAL MUSTARD DAY, SAT., AUGUST 2, 2014 [continued]
(continued from previous page…) The National Mustard Museum holds the world’s largest collection of mustards 
(more than 5,600) and mustard memorabilia. Founder and Curator Barry Levenson reminds food lovers that mustard 
is not only a versatile condiment but a healthy one, too. “With no more than 10 calories per serving and no fat or 
cholesterol, it really is the superhero of condiments.” Levenson notes that Shakespeare mentions mustard in four of his 
plays; neither ketchup nor mayonnaise comes even close to such literary notoriety.
With the help of Confidential Condiment Counselors, visitors can taste more than 450 different mustards, on National 
Mustard Day, and every day, in the Museum gift shop. In addition to National Mustard Day, the Museum and Gourmet 
Gift Shop is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. 
For more information, contact Barry or Patti Levenson at the museum (608-831-222) or via cell (Barry at 608-
235-3870; Patti at 608-444-5820) or email curator at mustardmuseum.com or plevenson at mustardmuseum.com.

O. K., here's something just for fun.  

It's a poem that would be suitable for Twitter if I were there.  It may be something obvious but it was good to play with words this way.  It's title would be Mustard.  

Bill Outman 

Don't put mustard 

On your custard
