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 ?

I miss the hugs my daughter gives
I can't go to where she lives
Oz won’t allow it

I miss the hugs my daughter gives
I cannot go to where she lives
Oz won’t allow it
But soon, I vow it

But soon, I vow it
When planes can fly I want first dibs

To get swiftly spliced
And showered with rice

To Gretna Green we all had hoped
To get swiftly spliced
And showered with rice
With a church they couldn’t have coped

They drank a pint to their future bliss

They drank a pint to future bliss
And fact that she was now not Miss

And fact that she was now not Miss
A new life beckons
More fun, she reckons
As long as neither start to diss

All these storms have just passed me by

All these storms have just passed me by
They’re forecast, so I wonder why

All these storms have just passed me by
They’re forecast, so I wonder why
My angelic face?

My angelic face?
I’m in the right place ?

All these storms have just passed me by
They’re forecast, so I wonder why,
My angelic face?
I’m in the right place?
But no dark clouds in the sky.

I’d plan a picnic out of doors

I’d plan a picnic out of doors
But with my luck it always pours

I’d plan a picnic out of doors
But with my luck it always pours
So, sat on the rug

I’d plan a picnic out of doors
But with my luck it always pours
So, sat on the rug
With Pimms in a jug

I’d plan a picnic out of doors
But with my luck it always pours
So, sat on the rug
With Pimms in a jug
Was hard to get up from all fours!
