Short Nits Poems

All the students were very aware
There were nits crawling in her long hair
Perching on the next seat
Trying to be discrete
I got itchy and had to move chair 

based on a real event

A moment ago, 
in a flicker of pique,
with a wave of the hand,
I dispersed them.

Glorious birds, 
now they are back, 
gold talons wrapped, 
roosting.

Glorious birds,
high on a wire,
spearing the nits
in their feathers.

A moment ago,
in a flicker of pique,
with a wave of the hand,
I dispersed them.
 
Glorious birds,
now they are back,
gold talons wrapped,
roosting.
 
Glorious birds,
high on a wire,
spearing the nits
in their feathers.

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!

Annoyances add up so fast
That sometimes you might be aghast
When life does prolong
All the things going wrong
And your stress level can’t be surpassed.

For somehow when nits multiply,
Even calm people cannot deny
That each problem presents
Such a knot that prevents
Peace of mind and I’d like to know why.

I guess life’s a balancing act
And the odds against joy have been stacked.
If you’re happy one day
It gets taken away;
That’s a guaranteed bona fide fact....
