I am similarly finding it difficult to find examples for this and the Taverns thread. Maybe it is time to think about allowing them to fade into the archives, although that would mean that I would have much less scope for making log entries.
I can probably spin out another couple of weeks with the pubs, and get to next month with the drinks, but an a bit jaded now and as no one else seems to want to join us I will just finish what I can and then leave the thread open so that if we do happen across anything it can be dropped in. meantime we will have to see if we can get you involved in the campaign to augment your posts a bit. Meantime here is my tipple for today.

The Fallen Acorn Brewing Company of Gosport, Hampshire manufacture a pale ale called 'She Sings Sea Shanties'.

My Dad (an old salt USN Chief Petty Officer) had one: 'She slit a sheet, a sheet she slit, a well be-slitted sheet was it"...... go ahead give it a try.....now faster...."She sings Sea Shanties on the sea shore." There that proves one thing Dave. I have not consumed enough G&ts yet today!

I know this is not seabird flavour but try this one Bill. You can sing it if you like.
I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's son
I'm only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker comes.
Me husband is a keeper, he's a very busy man
I try to understand him and I help him all I can,
But sometimes in an evening I feel a trifle dim
All alone, I'm plucking pheasants, when I'd rather pluck with him.
I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mate
I'm only plucking pheasants 'cos the pheasant plucker's late !
I'm not good at plucking pheasants, at pheasant plucking I get stuck
Though some pheasants find it pleasant I'd rather pluck a duck.
Oh plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease
But pheasant plucking's torture because they haven't any grease.
I'm not a pheasant plucker, he has gone out on the tiles
He only plucked one pheasant and I'm sitting here with piles !
You have to pluck them fresh, if it’s fresh they’re not unpleasant,
I knew a man in Dunstable who could pluck a frozen pheasant.
They say the village constable had pheasant plucking sessions
With the vicar on a Sunday ‘tween the first and second lessons.
I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's mum
I'm only plucking pheasants 'till the pheasant plucker's come.
My good friend Godfrey is most adept, he's really got the knack
He likes to have a pheasant plucked before he hits the sack.
I like to give a helping hand, I gather up the feathers,
It's really all our pheasant plucking keeps us pair together.
I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's friend
I'm only plucking pheasants as a means unto an end !
My husband's in the forest always banging with his gun
If he could hear me half the time I'm sure that he would run,
For there's fluff in all my crannies, there's feathers up my nose
And I'm itching in the kitchen from my head down to my toes.
I'm not a pheasant plucker, I'm a pheasant plucker's wife
And when we pluck together it's a pheasant plucking life !

Well done as Major General Stanley, Bill!
That was a real cracker Bill, and quite reminicent of my performance as Sir Joseph Porter, although that was done in the days before moving pictures were commonplace.
