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 ?

I’m moving to Holland-on - Sea
With my best friend if she'll agree
She loves the Bingo
She'll learn the lingo
And we'll drink a whisky, or three.

My friend is a total livewire

A crafty cat from Coventry
Learned how to use my front door key
He'd bring in his mates
Straight through the locked gates
Then pinch what my cats had for tea

I used to keep hamsters of course
Until they got squashed by my horse
But now I am banned
My forehead I've fanned
And now I am full of remorse.

I'll keep him on his toes till then
He won't know what, who, where or when
What a shock he'll get
I'll leave all to my pet
A charming young spaniel called Ben

He says he'll wait to inherit
He thinks that I am a prize twit
Better watch my back
Better change my tack
He's going to be disappointed

Or maybe try skiing in France
Risky sport but I'll take a chance
I’ll try the black run
Certainly great fun
My grandson is looking askance?
