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.
