My dear Mr. Chicken,

Oh goodness, I just assumed we'd gotten to know each other so well after the greeting rituals that conjugation would be appropriate but I seem to have been presumptuous. I do beg your pardon! I am trying hard but seem to have leaped from the frying pan into the fire!

Oh-dear...that was rather a thoughtless expression to employ.

I hope you don't mind but I saw the notes you drew in the dirt out back-the ones that look like chicken scratches?-- and I deciphered what I believe is your alphabet.

Oh-excuse me. Chicken scratches-I'm sorry-I seem to have done it again.

Well-anyway-Would you tell me if this is correct-because obviously if it isn't, it would be pointless to continue.

........... Singular ....... Plural
1st person ... BAWK ....... BAWK
2nd person ... BAWK ....... BAWK
3rd person ... BAWK ....... BAWK or BAWK
(I was uncertain about that last BAWK)

I just thought it might be nice for you to have someone with whom to converse a bit in your native tongue-that is-if you have a tongue. I'm not really sure as all the chickens who have shared my dinner table have had no head for languages.

Of course I realize that you are a diplomatic dignitary of high rank and may have no time for a lowly Earthing like me although -well -forgive me -I don't wish to sound boastful-but there is a chance that we may have more in common than you think -my great-great-aunt was Henny n‚e Penny from New Jersey. I'm quite proud of the connection.

I do hope your mission is going well. We are all so proud to be patrons of such a prestigious poultroon.
Respectfully,
penni of DAR
