NITS, NITS, NITS

Nits

Nits

Nits

I hate the little gits

they invade your house

the dirty louse

like a plague that never quits

Lice

Lice

Lice

they're not very nice

combs and Potions

nit killing lotions

fingernails that splice

another annoying

infestation

I wish on them insect cremation

drag them and eggs out

with a comb

stop the insects taking hold

round up the kids

wash their heads

comb out the dead

the tiny eggs

wash the bedding

5000 degrees

hell on earth

for louse and fleas

they become nymphs

just after hatching

then suck your blood

and we start scratching

blood sucking insects

that spit on your head?

of course I want

the biters dead

countless Draculas

and Nosferatu

the tiny vampires

that feast upon you

a six legged

Christopher Lee

the victims have been bled

until your whole house

is Oldman free

Bela Legosi is not dead

decapitate

stake through the heart

garlic drops

before you start

you can live in a mansion

or social housing

you still need chemical

Van Helsing

a nurse , a chef,

barber and teacher

another role

your job will feature

parental duties

pest control

it never ends

destroys your soul

and so to cope

you will soon learn

straighteners make

the parasites burn

still they return

back from the dead

to climb and feed

off every head

Lice

Nits

Lice

you will have then more than twice

unless you shave

your kids hair off

and that's not very nice

itchy creatures

contagious, catching

just mention them

and we start scratching

but they cannot fly

carry disease

they can only crawl

not jump like fleas

I will leave you with one thought

as you stop and scratch your heads

did one just crawl onto your scalp

or can an idea grow six legs?
