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 ?

My laundry was finished today
And I should be ironing, but hey...
It’s too hot for chores
I can't stay indoors

I fancy a swim in the bay

Hello . This is the Limerick police ..

Jangran .. On the ipad I sometimes ( if I can be bothered ) open 2 Gn tabs so I can see if someone has posted before me or not.

Bathsheba ... you are living on the edge ??? But, as you very well know this is permissible.

I’d like to be able to surf
Where I live we only have turf

Awful I know but I blame Annum. SURF ? What rhymes with surf Annum.

My messages are meant to be light hearted. I just read them again and thought I sound like a right old bossy boots. If the cap fits ...☺️

It's just not the same
As I might go lame
Or get a bad case of the scurf

When I forget the rythym I say this one to myself...(I didn't write it).

There was a young man from Darjeeling
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing,
It said on the door
Do not spit on the floor
So he lay down and spat on the ceiling.

But I’m just a land girl at heart
Up early to make a good start

Sorry. Lowering the tone. Getting silly now.
You did that on purpose Jangran, didn’t you ?

My veggies I take to the mart .

I'll replace with Canterbury Bell.
