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 ?

But busy Brian from Boston
Walked a path that he got lost on
He wandered for days
Through glens and steep braes

I must pry myself off this bed
Jobs to do, so must get ahead
Wait! It's day of rest
I'll wear my new vest
And slob about, lazy instead.

Writes 'creme', instead of cream confused

I also write prose like a dream
But I'm really not what I seem
A closet Welsh Bard
Who finds rhyming hard
Writes 'creme', instead of cream.

Wonder what happened to Miss Tree who set these strict rules in the first place

We get slapped on the wrist, somehow. gringringrin

COVID has kept us active here
But I want to drink a cold beer
Get the glasses out
A half pint of stout
And poet's my brand new career

I can’t see that ‘now’ rhymes with ‘love’
But goodness me - heavens above!
We do try our best
And sometimes in jest
We get slapped on the wrist, somehow.

Comfort eating is what I do
And have done since the age of two
So I'm obese now
I feel like a sow
It’s time to give up all the goo.

Come on Juliet....spellings may not match but phonetically , they do rhyme, methinks ?

Juliet27 Sat 05-Sept-20 11:28:21

Crazy...how does love rhyme with now?

And have done since the age of two
So I'm obese now
And cannot find love
