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 ?

There’s so many acorns this year
Much nutrition value, I hear
For squirrels they’re good

I love to go swimming at night
Nude, no chance of causing a fright
It ain't half chilly
I was being silly
As now I’m suffering frostbite

An ornithologist from Oake
Went to the river for a soak
Saw a kingfisher
Took a great picture
And sold it to a naturalist bloke

A gifted belly dancer, was I
Sure could wiggle I wasn't shy
On dance floors galore
Men ogled for more
"Now all of me wobbles" I sigh

I once was known as Miss Quilter
Whose spreads were all out of kilter
So now I make jam
And cure my own ham,
Freeze stew to last thru the winter

I've hobbies I like to pursue
Sewing, reading, making a brew,
It's painting for me
The moods of the sea
As for me, I like painting the crew

I do wish I enjoyed housework
But I’m fine to live in my murk
Dust, two inches thick
Makes some folks feel squick
From vaccing and dusting I shirk.

But I’m fine to live in my murk
Dust, two inches thick
Makes some folks feel squick what a great word smile
'Cos that's where big spiders might lurk

I think I should get a cleaner
