Lice! -- a lice poem

LICE!
by
Gregory K.

Lice.
Lice.
I just don’t like lice.

They lurk in your hair like some small, living rice.
They’re itchy and scratchy – those louse are not nice!

They’re hard to get rid of, like pimples or mice.
They crawl onto others without asking twice.

So if you get louses… excuse me… get lice,
Don’t go off to school or to other folks' hice!
