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 ?

Perhaps if we all toe the line
The pubs will open from nine o nine
Not just pubs let's hope

It's just a virus
But I'm desirous
Of a vaccine to keep us undaunted
