House Mother
Mothers are there to heal us
Kiss boo-boos and fixed skinned knees
But sometimes the tables turn
And all is not as everyone sees
A runaway comes into the hospital
Whose strength has run out
Her ability to care for her mom and herself
Is seriously cast in doubt
Usually House stays on the sidelines
Lets the team take the emotional hits
This time, though, he shows a softer side
A pattern that just doesn't fit
He sides with the girl to break away
Living a life without Mom is for the best
He knows all the details of their lives
Until Mother fills in the rest
House can seek respite in clinic duty
Something light to occupy his mind
Sitting behind door number one
Is a most unusual find
The Civil War is still raging for two
One of whom has the runs
They are insulted by House's attitude (join the club)
But at least they don't have guns
House checks to see what day it is
That he's not in the Twilight Zone
He wonders if he should get help
Or deal with this on his own
The battle between North and South
Was a long and arduous fight
Can these two survive what come out of House's mouth?
We'll find out tonight
