Chasing Rats

Once again he's pulled a fast one

House is sick…yes or no?

When he sees the team is baffled

He just takes on that certain glow

Who among them is loyal

Which one will take up the slack

Who really is worried

Which one will stab him in the back

As House fakes all the symptoms

Of Vicodin taking its toll

While Wilson ponders true or false

House takes a little stroll

Lately, all roads lead back to Father

It's not always a pleasant trip

For death ends a life

But not a relationship

The patient wants to honor his father

By doing the correct thing

The reality is his dad was a drunk

And responsible for a killing

Was it worth it House asks the patient

What would his actions really mean?

The soldier stands by his deed

He knows what his eyes have seen

Thankfully, House is fine

He was just yanking everyone's chain

Why does he do these things (cause he can)

What does he stand to gain?

He finds Chase thinks he is a big cheese

House informs him, you're not all that

You'll find out when you get home tonight

You'll definitely smell a rat (or two or three…)
