The nits are back

Half term is over the nits are back,

Planning together how best to attack.

Ready to crawl from head to head

On teachers ,children and inspectors from Ofsted.

We have six legs each with a claw at the end,

We feed on blood and round schools panic send.

 

We love thick hair whether dirty or clean,

For attacking us with nit combs,we think humans are mean.

I was once caught on sticky tape and shown to a G.P.

But managed to escape and quickly crawl free.

We cannot fly,jump or swim,but we love to share,

We lay our eggs and cement them to kids both dark and fair.

We only reside on humans and are easy to please,

Never on dogs,we absolutely hate their fleas !

 

Half term is over and we are after a treat,

New heads to crawl over,fresh children to meet.

Takes me back...my youngest daughter was always bringing them home. Nit comb and hair conditioner were our weapons.

Hugh - well done for covering a topical subject, and for not basing it around a jokey ending.
