King.

Hum a song with sounds of ma-pa-ba ; of h and j ; of a-e-i-o.
Focus on how a slight pressure of your tiny tongue muscle here or there, the indiscernible twitch of lips like this or that produce such a variety of phonemes.

Our subconscious intelligence meticulously manages these tiny details of our larynx and orals, and they do it all the time; their instances of errors abysmally low!

When I think about it – the degree of sophisticated design that comes into play even when I say the simple word ‘koe-a-ck’- it’s kingly.

.. I feel haughtily satisfied .

I
ana
ego..its all about me.

Oh dear inanimate world,
its all about me!

    cant hold it back any longer: as far as i know geese honk, ducks quack.

    Or change the mascot to a duck.

    Geese ‘cackle’ by the way.

  7. (Yes, good that you realize now now, Aasim.)

    Both geese and ducks belong to the same family. We like to promote love, unity and eradication of discrimination based on physical attributes. Therefore, we present to you, a quacking goose!

    The goose has been loyal to us for over 5 years and cannot be fired because of his choice of language.
