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 ?

What helps, is one or two big sighs
And thoughts of my great bargain buys
Time to meditate
And then I feel great
My urge to shop soon dies.

Comfort eating is what I do

A lesson I never will learn
Is patience whilst waiting my turn
My feet start to tap
My fingers to snap
Calmness is something I do yearn

To help, I take a few deep breaths

A lesson I never will learn
Is being patient whilst waiting my turn
I snort and I snarl

A lesson I never will learn
Is being patient whilst waiting my turn needs to be 8

The postman arrived late today
I think he'd been out making hay
Got one junk letter
Off to the shredder
Waiting for a dress from Ebay

Perhaps he'll spend a day on Zoom
While waiting for his new costume
He hopes it will fit
He won't look a twit
Trying it on in his bedroom.

Will Santa be allowed this year?
Sure he will, unless he's in fear
Or if on lockdown
And can't find a gown
In which case we'll all shed a tear.

Sure he will, unless he's in fear
Or if on lockdown
Could he get bogged down?

It's time to whip up a nice cake
I love nothing more than to bake
With butter and eggs
Dried fruit and nutmeg
And topped with real icing not fake.
