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 ?

A few too many syllables in that if we’re sticking to strict rules so how about..

An opera trip was their choice
But the tenor had lost his voice
Ed Sheeran stepped in
Created a din
Drove home in his private Rolls Royce.

I am melting here in this heat
Hot weather is now not a treat
I’d welcome a night
Cool sheets, a delight!
And maybe a swift blast of sleet.
