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 ?

She is built like a horse - Shire?
And loves climbing up the church spire
She reaches the top
Then abseils non stop

She is built like a horse - a Shire?
And loves climbing up the church spire
She reaches the top
Then abseils non stop
And wishes she could go much higher.

There once was a Gran with three chins

Couldn’t tell where her neck begins

There once was a Gran with three chins
Couldn't tell where her neck begins
She was eating for three
And had cake for her tea

There once was a Gran with three chins
Couldn't tell where her neck begins
She was eating for three
And had cake for her tea
Which was followed by five or six gins

This gran used to gamble each day
