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 ?

Her Granny flew over from Dublin
With anger a-seethin' and bubblin'

Henetha!
Message from the Limerick Police.

Would you like to come to my counting skool ? I am a star pupil because as I demonstrated yesterday I don’t keep to the rules 88558. It works so much better if we do ?

So pretty please would you count up your last 2 lines again ?

I'm not sure how it was started
But they just could not be parted
Police with truncheons
Down to the dungeons
But nothing could make them downhearted.

The city was lit up so bright
A jewel in the crown of the night
Nightclubs inviting
It felt so exciting
But then there broke out a big fight

I gave Dave a meaningful scowl
" So what now? ",with clenched teeth I growl
Take hold of my hand
And try not to stand...

I hollered and jumped up and down
Dave looked at me with a big frown
He said, what the 'ec
Don’t fall in the beck
It would be a pity to drown.

Dave said that we’d just have to push
I'm bursting to go in the bush
With my legs crossed tight
I felt quite alright
Then I got a thorn in my tush

Just then at the foot of the hill

Till a thorn got stuck in my tush.
