LICE AREN’T NICE!
My daughter came home from school today
Read the newsletter, it began this way
‘Check their hair they’re on the go –
Lice are moving – you should know!’
 
Put this parent in a whirl
It couldn’t happen to ‘my girl!’
Fetch the magnifying glass
Not one nit will I let past!
 
Chorus
So if you’ve got a hairy thatch
Where lice might want to hatch
Resist, restrain, hold back –
Don’t scratch!
 
Sure enough I found some there
In a curl of dainty hair
Got  on Google, in a rush
‘Lice advice please?’ I did blush.
 
So we got the head lice foam
And the funny thin toothed comb
Have you ever strained a nit before?
Or brushed out head lice by the score?
 
Chorus
 
Washed her scalp, her blankets twice
Washed the cat, soaked  four head ties
Lined the family up as well
Suffocated with the smell
 
Picked each tiny micro egg
Strained my eyes – they went quite red!
Got a bad case of RSI
Cause I’ve pulled each hair strand up so high!
 
What’s a head lice like you say?
I’m an ‘eggspert’ from this day
If your hair’s like mine - receding
Must be less lice in there, feeding.
 
Chorus
So if you’ve got a hairy thatch
Where lice might want to hatch
Resist, restrain, hold back
But DON'T SCRATCH!
Repeat last two lines x3
