To E F G,

“I’ll share my lice with you

Unsuspectingly.

Itchy itchy doom doom!

Still more—W!

The whole class with—

Oh, no!

Itchy itchy DOOM! DOOM!

Skit skat skoodle doot

Flip flop flee.

Everyone’s scratching ferociously.

Mamas and papas

EVENTUALLY.

Itchy itchy doom doom!

And this is what he said,

“Is that another nit

It’s lice, of course.

It spreads so easily.”
