Oh No, A Nightmare! Nits!!!


They wanted to stay, our g'kids, age 3, and 5, Isabelle, and Evie-Rose.
But last time we tried them they woke up screaming, but well, here goes!
There's a story to be told every day, it's how my books came about,
But this was the ‘worst' one ever, of that there is no doubt!!
They stayed over and were great! Of that I have to say!
So that means they will come again! Starting next Saturday!
Well the next morning, they were made up that they slept all night!
Even though Evie-Rose was terrified, she asked; ‘what if I get a fright?!'
I told her ‘you will be fine! All the doors locked with a key!'
‘And the windows are locked!' She'd asked about that, specifically!
So we settled her after a while, and off they were fast asleep!
So off to bed me and Rich snuck, we really had to creep!

Next morning...

NITS!!! They had nits, oh no!! They get nitted 3 times a week!
Cos every time they go to school...It's nits their daddy had to seek!!!
So Isabelle started scratching...And I got the nit comb out!
She sat there so good, so very good, she didn't cry and didn't shout!
And there they were, on the comb, well honestly; I went sick!
Loads of them there were! So I got Evie-Rose over quick!!
‘I haven't got nits!!' she screamed, ‘Daddy said I was okay!'
I told her gently she would have them, oh, what an awful day!!
She cried and cried, poor thing, but apart from that, she was good,
So I nitted away with the comb, and got all the nits that I could!
I didn't know they could jump! Not the girls, the nits that is,
Then I nitted Isabelle again, I was determined to do the biz!

I couldn't crack them with ‘my' nails! So I put false nails on quick!
Yeah, ok, I'm a coward, okay! But I was more than a little sick!
Then I put the comb through 'my' hair, not expecting to find a nit!!
But I got one on the nit comb, and I had a hairy-mary-fit!!!
I've never had nits, nor had my kids, in school, no not never!
I kept the lads short, Marie's platted, saying she had to leave them forever!
Well, in school, not forever, I let it down as soon as she was home,
They couldn't get them off each other, cos no nits at all did roam!
Then June 19th, I'll never forget! We all had nits, so out came the lotion!
And I covered us all with it well! I'm told they go-it's like a magic potion!
But they didn't, they were still there!! So I combed my hair again!
And out came a nit, oh glory be, I was just about going insane!

Last night I had a thought! My daughter said ‘bleach' would kill the lot!
So I dyed my hair that night! Even though was only three I'd got!
Now I'm off to Boots tomorrow! As soon as they open the door!
To get a ‘nitty gritty' comb, devised by mums who know the score!
Some women were sick of nits, so they got together and worked it out!
Had this comb made especially, it's the best nit comb there is no doubt!!
So when they come next week to stay, whether they have nits or not!
I'm getting the ‘nitty gritty' comb out, cos they trap them all, the lot!!!

And they work!!!
