Limericks with very strict rules ..... 88558

Some of the limericks on the Gransnet threads are really good and worthy of publication I think .
Some don’t keep to the rules. I know games are for enjoyment and it’s all about the taking part but I wondered if anyone else would feel like me ? Could we have a thread of limericks which stick to the 88558 syllable rules ?
I hope it’s not out of order to suggest this. What do gamesters think? AIBU ?

The tea tray was laden with cakes
Iced buns, Battenburg and tray bakes
I'm spoiled for choice
I'll take one for the boys
The rest are for me, - tummy aches!

I'm going to be fat as a house

I'm feeling quite cheerful today
With grin that is big, come what may
I'm passing it on
Before it has gone
As I've just seen a large tea tray.

Pray will these dreams of mine come true
I don't ask for much, just a few
More years together
Storms we will weather
And this pandemic to come through

Just a companion he will be
Nothing naughty with him and me
We'll dance in the dew
Perhaps ‘down a few’
And walk on the prom by the sea.

If I raise enough money I’ll go
So I'll say cheer cheer cheerio
Well if go you must
I hope you adjust
And find a friend named Mario

From now on I'm bending the rules
Just like some other old fools
'Cos I've had enough
I’m off in a huff
and I’m selling the family Jewels
