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 ?

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

Dried fruit and nutmeg
And topped with real icing not fake.

Sure he will, unless he's in fear
Or if on lockdown

Could he get bogged down?

Sure he will, unless he's in fear
Or if on lockdown
And can't find a gown

In which case we'll all shed a tear.

He hopes it will fit
He won't look a twit
Trying it on in his bedroom.

Calmness is something I do yearn

And thoughts of my great bargain buys
Time to meditate
And then I feel great
My urge to shop soon dies.

Comfort eating is what I do
