G'day Phyllis... I've never tasted it although it is advertised on TV. Unfortunately the harp seal pups are accustomed to a different club - Lindsay

G'day John... unfortunately for many harp seal cubs, anything to do with a club doesn't appeal to them. We can't go crook though; we have duck shooting and mutton birding annually - thanks again John - Lindsay

Apologies Andrea... I got you mixed up with another poets comment further down. As punishment I'll do research on limerick ideas for you. Thanks for reading this one of mine - Lindsay

G'day Kim... a clever seal alright. If it stayed where it was it might have encountered a different club - thanks again Kim - Lindsay
