Gaspode/Duckman's Duck

[unseen_writings]

"'s a lonely life, bein' orally gifted. Never arsked for it. If someone'd ever come up and arsked if I wanted to develop higher brain functions I woulda told 'em where to stick it." Gaspode scratched his ear industriously with a hind leg. "Do you ever remember what it was like, to talk? Not that there was ever much of that, in your case."

The duck quacked at great length, illustrating some of the more important points with his wing.

Gaspode sighed.

"Didn't understand a word." He walked off, dejectedly.

"Damn," said the duck. He always got tonguetied when Gaspode was around.
