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 ?

Will you see if the coast is clear ?
I don’t want her anywhere near

Oops

Will you see if the coast is clear ?
I don’t want her anywhere near
This saga must end
My health I’ll defend
So that I don't live life in fear

Then we'll be the ones to have fun

So a final farewell, my dear.

I don't want to sound pedantic

We'll spend lots of time in the sun
Carousing till dawn
With never a yawn
And ready for luncheon at one.

My hair looks an absolute fright
It needs to be cut
Get out of its rut

I'm dressing for dinner tonight
My hair looks an absolute fright
It needs to be cut
Get out of its rut
Then maybe I’ll be less of a sight

Few of us look good in this heat
When you're 'glowing' it's hard to look neat

(we were always taught at school that ladies don't sweat, they glow grin)

When you're 'glowing' it's hard to look neat
I feel so sticky

Grotty and icky

But my glorious tan you can’t beat

I sashayed along the local high street

Ooo h * Crazy*,you will be in big trouble 10 syllables! Let’s omit local
before it’s noticed?

I sashayed along the high street

Thanks Jan - I don't think anyone noticed ?

Sashayed along the high street
With stilettos killing my feet
Bunions inflamed

It’s punishment for my conceit

Though syllable counting is tough
We spout out less verse off the cuff

We spout out less verse off the cuff
It disciplines us
