eeww! As far as I remember, I never had these creatures bugging me - thank god for that (although I'm only using it as an expression)
I absolutely love the AHA moment of this one, where you point at what's inside the child's head, but as well at what's skipping around it - in the child's hair...
Go to the barber shop and make it a baldy is what I'd give for advice

Congratulations on your HM, I especially enjoyed the images of this haiku..

How funny...not the lice but the whole image...all these little words vieing for space with all the little lice...great imaging...Good luck

LOL.
excellent.

Though lice aren't funny to have, you've still managed a humorous haiku in recognition of them. And an all too common dilemma.
Good luck in the contest

Lice a problem in Belgium? I don't think I've ever known someone who had it, knock on my wooden head.
Simple solution...shave her head. I'm an answer man.
Egads, it's as yucky as it is creative. Seems like you've become the weird one and I've become more normal.

Hi beautiful one!
Oh no, lice are pests!
Many hours I spent combing Tess' hair with a special comb (and it was really a long hair), to get her rid of lice. Every school season was the same torture. I'm glad her her is shorter and free of lice. It starts to itch just thinking about
