Piojos! Lice! The biting kind. You see ‘em everywhere;
They’re thick as thieves on cattle’s backs and crawlin’ in their hair!
And ticks the size of Tootsie Pops transfuse a cow a day!
And two can pack a yearlin’ off or pull a two-horse sleigh!
A team of scabies mites can slick, a pen of weaners clean
And make you wish you’d never heard of two-dip quarantine!
But sheep don’t get off easier, there’s nasal bots and keds
Plus maggots from a screwworm strike that every herder dreads.
There’s deer flies, blow flies, horn flies, house, face flies, horse flies, warbles.
