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 ?

When I was a mere twenty one
I wanted to have lots of fun
But a knight came by
Wish I’d said goodbye?

If I could go back to age five...
My dear mum would still be alive
I’d play in the street
Hopscotch, on my feet
Those thoughts are now in the archive

They found the bike without its wheels
Obv cos of somebody who steals
So that is the end
And farewell old friend
My property broken by heels.

His one and only friend, Mild Mike
Who you’d think were nothing alike
Meets up after dark
With tramps in the park
Who help him look for his new bike

Was naughty but hard to dislike

Handsome Harry from Harrogate
His habit was to derogate
Putting others down
Flaunting around town
He's the type we all love to hate.

Silly Sally from Solihull
Felt splat on her head from a gull
They say it's good luck
Next time she should duck
But at least her life’s never dull.
