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 ?

I went to the Dentist today
He took just one look and cried, "Hey"

The lads thought she was far too posh
They knew she had almost no dosh
Brought her down a peg
By making her beg
For a seat on the train to Cosh

She walked with her nose in the air
A nonchalant toss of her hair
So fragrant a lass
She never passed gas
When she did, it was with flair.

A beauty from Honeypot Lane
Thought the mirror showed she was plain
With a trim and curl
And full skirt to whirl
She really was terribly vain.

So I went home to fumigate
Running at such a rapid rate
Now where is that spray?
I need it today
Those biting pests I must frustrate.

True, but this is the form that was agreed for this thread to get some consistency .smile

Where, as a matter of interest, did you find this rule?

Lots of limericks, Lear's amongst other, have 99669.

He tried to put my mind at ease
Walk, don't run, you will hurt your knees
With his hand in mine
We went out to dine
But before long I caught his fleas.

There was an old man with a beret
In a novel by one John Le Carre
He strolled down the street
His stick tapped a beat
This was in Kerry!

One day a girl in Limerick

There was an old man with a beret
In a book by John Le Carre (changed it to 8)
He strolled down the street
His stick tapped a beat
To a tune that was like reggae

He tried to put my mind at ease
