That Part in Grey's Anatomy Where They Have An Intervention For Someone They Love Who's Really Struggling by John Doyle

Sweepstakes never sunk this low -
usually it's broken baseball bones or who'll get sacked on Tuesday.
 
With ideas low, and costs pilling-up, 
the latter gambit's the only way to made easy-cabbage.
 
We run with it - figuring whoever wins will be good enough
to buy rounds after it's us who walk the plank.
 
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were having nothing of it -
they threw their badges in their lockers, headed for the showers.
 
That leaves Judas and me,
deciding which cast member
 
has more than one beer before 9pm, 
therefore needs all those people
 
with their bleeding hearts to step in.
I'm hoping it's the Irish guy - being from County Mayo myself -
 
I know there's no-one in my clan 
who can stay that clean for that long.

Bottom's up I say, redundant
to a tv screen, where Meredith and co.

pour black coffee
for a man who drank three beers instead of two

 John Doyle became a Mod again in the summer of 2017 to fight off his impending mid-life crisis; whether this has been a success remains to be seen. He has has two collections published to date, A Stirring at Dusk in 2017, and Songs for Boys Called Wendell Gomez in 2018, both on PSKI's Porch.

He is based in Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland. All he asks is that you leave your guns at the door and tie up your horses before your enter.
