Head Lice

 Most unwelcome visitors to anyone's pate.
Quiet and insidious,
And some time you might wait,
To discover their presence.
And then with the greatest of diligence,
you must treat and fine comb,
Scratching your child's head near to the bone.
They'll squeal and grizzle and fidget about.
Unfortunately all of those eggs must come out.
So despite the best of chemical warfare,
The brushing and checking of every hair.
It only takes one or two of those eggs to remain,
To hatch, copulate and then its on once again.
