A/N: There's a lovely little comm on LJ called house_lite and it's basically for fanfic of the poetic variety, with a focus on limericks and haiku. There was recently a prompt involving shipping and the holidays, and I took that and milked it for all it was worth. Some are canon, some decidedly not, and in the case of this first one I don't even particularly like H/Cu, but that's what I wrote. (Mostly just because poor Lucas needs to be heard.)
Lisa close, Rachel in arm,
they watch some holiday show
as if they're happy.
He hugs her tighter;
She's here, but not really.
Her mind is elsewhere.
Why does he stay here?
She's using him for safety,
and to piss off House.
House can't stand him now.
Should have been bros before hos -
Love triangles suck.
Rachel sleeps; he kisses Lisa
and her face says it won't last;
it's always been House.
