Parasite

. With apologies to Elton John!! Inspired by his wonderful song..."Sacrifice" - Parasite - It's a human scourge When lice move in When they grab their little fingers And misery begins Into your bedroom Crawling into your hair Creatures come a'calling And they snuggle in there Itch itch starts Scratching done by you Those nasty critters, baby Will cling to you It seems that you've got lice Just a simple bug Those thugs are living In your bed and your rug But it's a parasite Small parasite It's a parasite that's all Degrading embarrassment After the fact Sensitivity builds allergies From the 'lousy' attack "Rid" the humilation Those nits you'll spurn! No more to damn you When medicine burns!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Written For John Heck's contest..."Dear John"
