“a friendly chat”

Thought this was going to be
a friendly chat.  Why did you
bring a bodyguard?


We decided to have a friendly chat,
and bury the hatchet. By the time
I left, I wanted to bury the hatchet

            She told him right off the bat
         she'd not live in a house with a cat. 
               She knew about Louie,
               saw boxes from Chewy,
        so clearly this was a pointless chat.

    Anyway fun verses.
