Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Chicago - Twinkie

The snack cake, Twinkie, came to be
When a baker in Chicago
Thought of it in 1930,
Named for a shoe brand, doncha know!
Banana creme was used as fill
Till bananas were rationed in
World War II, but creme was used still -
Vanilla flavored did begin.
Now both creme flavors can be found
On store shelves, and so long said with
An infinite shelf life be bound -
Of course that's just an urban myth.

The Twinkie does go on and on,
A popular culture icon.
