Nits Hatch - She'Ll Scratch

Louise
has fleas

And nits –
the pits!

Scratch head
In bed

Sore bites
from mites

Sleeps bad
goes mad

Bedding -
shedding

Gets cross
with boss

(Itchy
B itchy)

Feels rough
buys stuff

Lotions
potions

Bug foam
nit comb

Prepare
cleanse hair

Comb through
shampoo

Hair washed
lice quashed

Nit free -
happy!

Andrea Dietrich Date: 12/30/2020 12:58:00 PM haha. how did I miss THIS set?? Big belated congrats. I actually relate to this one because our daughter picked up those awful things from a carnival ride (I am sure that's what it was) we discovered the crap as we drove home from Iowa and had to find lice shampoo on our drive. Luckily my son , I and hubbie never got it but her case was so bad that we had to cut off all her beautiful long hair because the nits just wouldnt' come off it. ugggg Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/2/2021 12:01:00 PM thanks Andrea, son had them at school thankfully i never have... but i still keep hold of the comb:-( hugs jan xx
