Abe Froman Report post Posted November 16, 2012 The Plant is Silent... Sung to the tune of By Simon And Garfunkel Goodbye Ho-Hos my old friend, I’d like to snack on you again... In the darkness silently feeding, While my fat cells were breeding, And the visions that were planted in my brain of whole wheat grain, But now the plant, is silent... In frantic dreams I eat Fruit Pie... A single Twinkie try to buy... In desperate need of a Ding Dong, But the factory is closed and gone. When my mind was stabbed by the biggest loss of all No more Sno Balls Cause now the plant, is silent... And in the morning light I saw, 5,000 jobless, maybe more... People acting without thinking... People hearing but not listening... People carrying signs, that management never read... Hostess is dead. And Inside the plant, there’s silence... “Fools” they said, “You do not know, how to make our profits grow. Hear our words when we tell you We cant do it without help, from you...” But the words, like silent breadcrumbs fell... And echoed in a plant, that’s silent... And the workers bowed and prayed No more Wonder Bread to be made... And the Court sent out its warning, “Be back to work by morning,” And the Court said “the words of the owners are written on the Courthouse walls And Union Halls.” And whispered in the plant, that’s silent.

Sadly most of the plant workers get brain washed by the unions to believe the companies can pay whatever they demand, and that they deserve it. They closed all the SoCal bakeries about 3 years ago because of the same thing. You would think the guys in the rest of the country would have seen that and realized this wasn't a bluff.

Ryan335 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 The parasite killed its Hostess. Nice play on words, ha. I think we'll be seeing this happening more in the coming years to other companies. The exact same type of reference will apply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan335 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 Yeah, this is exactly what we need, more nationalized companies... White House Petiton to bail out the Twinkie It appears to be a bit of a joke (I hope), but it continues to show people will sign anything online.

Turbo50Mike Report post Posted November 17, 2012 Never had any if their products, they must be good because everyone seems to be in mourning If you live in the US, eating something from Hostess is a right of passage. I don't think there is a US citizen that hasn't had a Twinkie at some point in their lives. It's just weird, because that's one thing that you would never think could go away...Walk into any supermarket and entire sections were dedicated to Wonder bread and those delicious snacks. If anyone has some Chocolate Hostess Cupcakes, we need to talk!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
