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 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

Without food she’ll just fade away

But overeating has its fault

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

Sugar’s a no-no

But overeating has its fault
It's worse, if you add lots of salt
Sugar’s a no-no
As is cookie dough

It's worse, if you add lots of salt
Sugar’s a no-no
As is cookie dough
But no harm in a tipple of malt.

Is a sip of best whisky each day

A sip of best whisky each day
No acid reflux
If it's a deluxe

So good for digestion, I say
A sip of best whisky each day
No acid reflux
If it's a deluxe
For which you’re quite happy to pay

Back to the long sleeves, please don't glare
The heating’s back on

Summer's almost gone

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

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