Busy week coming up?
It doesn’t look too bad, but
Friday’s slammed
How is the painting going?
It needs more work.
I’ll show you later —
Have you seen the cat?
I can’t find the cat
We don’t own a cat
I mean, sure,
Nobody really “owns” a cat…
We have no cat.
No cat lives here.
If one did, you would
Call it by her or his name.
You would say,
Have you seen Belle? or
Have you seen Lee-Kwan-Dexter?
or whatever.
“Lee-Kwan-Dexter”?
You are not naming our cat.
Are you saying you want a cat?
Why do you hate cats?
What are you talking about?
I love cats
You don’t see too concerned
That we can’t find ours
Then
Let’s go down to the shelter
Tomorrow
And see if we can find our cat
Now you’re talking
I like the reasoning 🙂
That’s one way to win an argument.
Capitulating – it’s a proven tactic.
An effective one at that.
