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 at least her life’s never dull.

He's the type we all love to hate.

Meets up after dark
With tramps in the park
Who help him look for his new bike

When I was a mere twenty one
I wanted to have lots of fun
But a knight came by
Wish I’d said goodbye?
