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 ?

When I was a mere twenty one
I wanted to have lots of fun
But a knight came by
Giving me the eye

When I was a mere twenty one
I wanted to have lots of fun
But a knight came by
Wish I’d said goodbye?
And taken off at a fast run

His true colours showed once we’d wed

His true colours showed once we’d wed
His dark side came out when in bed

His dark side came out when in bed
He brought out his whip

I left at a clip

I left at a clip
‘Walnuts, NO!’ I said.

There was a young man of Hackney

There once was a young man of Hackney
Who tried a cure for awful acne
He zapped at his spots
With cream set in clots

Did I want to keep it? No way!
