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 ?

But Wiggy's a bit of a piggy.

I drove up to London last night
The fast traffic gave me a fright
Double deckers, tall
Excitement did pall
So I left and now everything’s right

So, ladies, beware

I've now wet my beard
I shan't do again what they ask.

From now on I'm bending the rules
