An Ode To Tastykake

The Bakers union would not accept the reasonable offer of the failing Hostess Baking Company, maker of Twinkies and Wonderbread, and so refused to return to work, thereby forcing Hostess to close its doors, putting 18,500 union workers out of work. And to make matters even more surreal, the union leaders claimed victory. Not that I have a Devil Dog in that fight, because I have never eaten a Twinkie in my life. I was fortunate to be born in an area served by the best snack cake baker in the world, Philadelphia’s Tasty Baking Company, the makers of Tastykakes and Tastypies.

 

To live a life and never try

A Tastykake or Tastypie

Is horrible to contemplate

And that is why I always ate

Cupcakes, Juniors, Krimpets too

From time of birth until I grew

Old enough to try the pies

And here is where I put you wise

Tastykakes, unlike the rest

Stand all alone, they are the best
