Eyes all bloodshot, red and stinging.
Don't be silly, don't start to whine,

Crisis over! What do you think?
Still got to get rid of that terrible stink.
Back to school, back to civilization.
Ready to pick up another infestation!

This one reminded me of my 3 year old this year. We had to cut her hair and she was as mad as mad could be. She didn't talk to me for 2 days after it. But we got it out and she hasn't had any since. Thank you for sharing, it made me laugh and made me think about when she grows up that she may even write something like this.
