I guess Christmas really started in our house last night, as I had an Indian takeaway, a few glasses of wine, some Toblerone to consolidate the piggery and then.. chronic heartburn at 4am.
While I was holding myself at a forty-five degree angle on the couch, waiting for the meds to kick in, I wrote a song about it, goes a little something like this!
On the first day of heartburn, my true love gave to me:
A beer and a box of Rennies
