Must-Have

Crazy but true

I will tell you about a champ.

How a spoon full of mustard

Stop my leg cramp.

My ancestors told me

when I was young

That getting a cramp

Was NO FUN.

I paid her no mine and

Went out to play.

I flew back in the house

With a leg cramp that day.

My muscle was balled up,

On my leg was a knot.

My grandma gave me mustard

And it stopped on the spot

I couldn't believe my eyes

But I was living proof.

I looked at my grandma

Like a giant goof.

To this day

If I get a cramp

I grab the yellow bottle

The Mustard Champ!
