Thank you for the feedback Billy. I didn't actually realise I had repeated "shards." I'll change that once I've finished this. The third line was just me bitching some more about crisps. I'd just tried some of those special flavoured Walkers which have been released to support red nose day, and it tasted like shit (which I'm pretty sure wasn't the intention). The couplet I see as more perfunctory than anything else. I need it to explain the last line.
