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 was a young man from Rutland
With longings to travel to Jutland
Over the North Sea
He travelled with glee

With longings to travel to Jutland
Over the North Sea
He travelled with glee
Then landed his boat on the sand.

This gran used to gamble each day

With longings to travel to Jutland
Over the North Sea
In a small dinghy

Seldom a winner
No cash for dinner
Without food she’ll just fade away

But overeating has its fault
It's worse, if you add lots of salt

Sugar’s a no-no

Sugar’s a no-no
As is cookie dough

Sugar’s a no-no
As is cookie dough
But no harm in a tipple of malt.

If it's a deluxe

No acid reflux
If it's a deluxe
For which you’re quite happy to pay

Not long before the trees are bare

That fishing programme is back on
Standing around with a mac on
But they make it fun
And when they have done
Switch off the TV and crack on.

It's time to whip up a nice cake
I love nothing more than to bake
With butter and eggs
