What I've Learned About Pediculosis Capitis (Lice)

by Amy Schachter

If you meet lice in the street

Don't shake hands, or claws, or feet.

They'll think you're looking for a renter

And make your head a daycare center.

Being included somewhat romantically,

They'll reproduce themselves quite frantically.

You'll be asked to baby-sit

Their cherished offspring, nymph and nit.

Then having left their mark on you

They'll move on to your sister Sue.

In short, be wise, take my advice…

Don't associate with lice!
