Oh What The Imagination Can Do!!


I know I go on about nits and worms,
But you know what? I tell it true!
If your kids school was overrun with them!
Then you'd write about them too!!

Now my daughter is a-phobic,
Yep, nits and worms are her pet-hate!
And every time the kids catch them,
My daughter's in a terrible state!

I guess I have to be honest here,
Once 'nits' were the worst for her,
But then they got the wiggly worms,
And her hysterical screams filled the air!

And oh I would laugh my head off!
Yep, I'm ashamed to say it's true!
And every time she'd phone me to tell me,
More laughter would come pouring through!!

Then one night I got an itchy itch...
I asked my daughter if the kids had worms...
'YES!!' Came back the reply,
Oh heck, I could imagine the squirms!!!!

So I went to bed that night,
With my daughters laughter in my ears,
And I wouldn't go to sleep at all,
Instead I cried buckets of tears!!

And I phoned my doctor next morning,
And told her of my awful plight,
Telling her that I used to laugh at my daughter,
And adding that I hadn't slept all night!!!

She actually laughed her head off!
I think it was a bit of; ‘what goes around!'
And I promised never to laugh again,
If nits or worms are to ever be found!

I have to add a little to this though,
Cos it turned out I didn't have worms!
And all the thoughts and fears were unfounded,
Even down to the little itchy squirms!

But it taught me a lesson that's true,
Never to laugh at another worm or nit plight!
Cos one time I thought that I had them too!!
And again, another sleepless night!

Oh what the imagination can do!
