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 ?

She's already got twins at home
They're named Gillian and Jerome
You’d think she’d have learnt
When her fingers got burnt
That it’s far better not to roam

She next met a young blade from Fowee
Who taught her to use his sex toy
It didn’t take long
For things to go wrong
So now they're expecting a boy.

Merry Meredith from Mousehole,
Naughty minx who loves arousal,
She’ll simper and tease
And spread out her knees
And loves a bawdy carousalblushI

She next met a lad from Leominster

He'll tell me what needs to be done
Then leave me to do it alone
My effort at verse
Would make many curse
But let's not forget to have fun.

Can we improve on Edward Lear?
Or even get anywhere near?
With language precise
I need some advice
Perhaps I'll call for a Seer

He'll tell me what needs to be done

Robins are starting to sing again
Looking for a new mate - and then?
Nest building starts
When winter departs
And spring comes once more to the glen.

Can we improve on Edward Lear?
