Inner Chubby Child: Remembering Twinkie

posted by Janice Taylor, Editor | 2:17pm Thursday January 12, 2012

Honor Your INNER CHUBBY CHILD by Janice Taylor, Self-Help Artist (art that invokes happy wisdom)

Perhaps, the 2012 ‘end of the world’ predictions aren’t so far off!  After all, Dealbook reported that Hostess Brands, founded in 1930, home of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos filed for bankruptcy.

Does that mean that Twinkies will be no more?

The Twinkie, a spongy, cream-filled cake that we’ve grown to know so well, can’t expire!  Not according to Urban Legend anyway, who insists that its long list of preservatives will keep it fresh and tasty into infinity and beyond.

My first reaction upon hearing this news was an audible “Oh No.”

“Where did that come from?” I wondered.

Undoubtedly, it surfaced from my inner-chubby child, who, back in the day spent many an afternoon squirreled under the weeping willow, away from onlookers, carefully separating the golden cake of the Twinkie from its creamy center.  Thoroughly enjoying one part and then the other; back n’ forth until it was no more.

Do you have a Twinkie memory or a Twinkie poem that you’d like to share?  Let’s wax poetic together.

 

A TWINKIE HAIKU

The Twinkie of Golden Days
of childhood gone by
cannot be forgotten now
