Refusal

A cuddly Harp Seal, when just a bub,
Swam further south and slipped into a pub,
The barman gave a wink,
Have this whisky to drink?...
“No way known, it’s Canadian Club!”

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
