how did that song go in Mary poppins?

just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down?

if readers don’t mind can I beg to differ….

childhood suspensions had some really weird flavours

i didn’t mind the mint ones, but it seems the chemist

was having a throwback to Victoriana….

licorice , arrowroot , aniseed

there was fruit flavours …but even they were laced with the dreaded aniseed

I’m guessing to take away the taste of the actual meds

Remedy ? Something fruity in the cupboard or fridge

Vimto, Orange or lemon….your choice
