Hostess Twinkies Come To An End
Hostess Twinkies Come to an End
By Elton Camp
But they are such a wholesome treat
And Twinkies are just such fun to eat
They are like shortcake on the outside
The center a delicious mush does hide
About 2012 the Mayans may be right
And the end of the world is in sight
A life without Twinkies many will hate
How will we maintain our body weight
Why nutritionists can react with glee
Is simply more than I am able to see
Maybe a pile of chemicals they are
But to quit making ‘em goes too far
Even if embalming fluid they do contain
On the shelves I wish they would remain
Losing pensions the workers may not like
But now they’ve lost all by going on strike
Some great man should come to our aid
Governor Christie, to do it you are bade
Become a true American hero
Save the Twinkies--make it so
