GOODBYE TWINKIE THE KID

 

Hostess is bankrupt again,

Administration thought they had friends…

“Loyal” employees

To whom they said please,

Could you help us get above water again?

–

But union bosses said, not this time,

We think you’re hiding a gold mine…

We can endure a strike

So do what you’d like,

You wouldn’t dare shut down this time.

–

Alas, that’s just what happened,

Thanksgiving for thousands were flattened…

The comp’ny couldn’t survive

So why stay alive,

So union boss wallets are fattened?

–

Will union fat cats support

The Thousands who held their fort…

Or will the little guys fend

For themselves again,

While the fat cats take the owners to court?

–

So goodbye, Twinkie the Kid,

You were great for the product and did…

What unions refused,

Your expense was well-used

Greedy unions just closed down your lid.
