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 ?

Today I've been out on my bike
The last thing I rode was a trike
I used the pavement
Which did cause comment
I'll give up and go for a hike.

Or maybe try skiing in France

I will get a new car today
My old motor was towed away
They said the big end
Was prone to distend
Did I want to keep it? No way!

They say a mirror never lies
Wish I was in another guise
The years have flown by
I just blinked an eye
Still fun to be had, so no sighs

There once was a young man of Hackney
Who tried a cure for awful acne
He zapped at his spots
With cream set in clots
What a sight when he looked at me

His true colours showed once we’d wed
His dark side came out when in bed
He brought out his whip
I left at a clip
‘Walnuts, NO!’ I said.

When I was a mere twenty one
I wanted to have lots of fun
But a knight came by
Wish I’d said goodbye?
And taken off at a fast run

His true colours showed once we’d wed

Giving me the eye
