What's In A Tongue?

In mammals such as dogs and cats, the tongue is often used to clean the fur and body. The tongues of these species have a very rough texture which allows them to remove oils and parasites. A dog's tongue also acts as a heat regulator. As a dog increases its exercise the tongue will increase in size due to greater blood flow. The tongue hangs out of the dog's mouth and the moisture on the tongue will work to cool the bloodflow

Your tongue: You taste with it, talk with it, and sometimes even stick it out!
It is the primary organ of taste.
It also serves as a natural means of cleaning one's teeth.

Tongue is a very powerful tool. You can catch a food with it and can even send a message through it if you are being playful or silly. They are sometimes used by some people at pointing instead of the finger. But so much about the tongue. Let us go and take up some activities to exercise our tongue to enhance ourselves in speaking the English pronunciation.

A tree toad loved a she-toad
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad
But a three-toed toad was she.
The two-toed tree toad tried to win
The three-toed she-toad's heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground
That the three-toed tree toad trod.
But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.
He couldn't please her whim.
From her tree toad bower
With her three-toed power
The she-toad vetoed him.
