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 ?

If I could be twenty again
Would I still do what I did then?
Stay up all night long
Ignore right and wrong

I’ll buy in plenty of honey
I know it will cost me money
But nothing’s too good
For my little pud
I do hope the weather stays sunny

Your wishes will be my command
You’re the best little bear in the land
Your cute button nose
Your tummy and toes
Please come and hold onto my hand!

Dear Pooh, I do hope you are well
I’m coming to stay for a spell,
Prepare the guest room
To your home I'll zoom
If you need something, just ring the bell.

Your wish will be my command

Pooh hid nervously under his bed
With a brown paper bag on his head
Inside which he found
A spanking new pound
And a hand written letter which said

Dear Pooh, I do hope you are well

So he went for a walk in the woods
Dreaming of gooey honey puds
His tummy rumbled
His thoughts were jumbled
When he heard lots of shuddering thuds

Dreaming of gooey honey puds
His tummy rumbled
Grumbled, he mumbled
