Snot and sweets

I have another cold.
My immune system must be about as much use as a chihuahua puppy guard-dog.
Here’s a resultant haiku:

Here we go again
Red, dripping nose; sore pink eyes
And a throat on fire

Fantastic announcement in the papers this week.. Apparently if you eat 195 fruit gums, it counts as one of your recommended 5-a-day portions of fruit and veg. I wonder which confectionary company funded that research? And how exactly would you deal with the mouth ulcers that would come as a result? Not to mention the rotten teeth and diabetes?
And does that mean if I eat enough Wine Gums I’ll get pissed?
So many questions, so little enthusiasm….
