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 ?

The honey brought on such a thirst
He drank so much , he almost burst
His tummy was hurting
Had a spot of burping
He began to think he was cursed.

So he went for a walk in the woods

Pooh always lent a helping hand
To the creatures in his little band
They brought him honey
So very runny
It must have been a cheaper brand.

So they hunted for Eeyore's tail
While he felt depressed and so frail
They searched and they searched
On a branch it was perched
They put it back on with a nail

While he felt depressed and so frail
They searched and they searched
On a branch it was perched
And they pinned it back on with a nail

Now Tigger could bounce on his tail
Stop that, poor piglet would wail
And Eeyore would moan
I'd a tail of my own
But I lost it in the last gale.

There was an old horse named Trigger
Than his rider, his fame was bigger
He could eat loads of hay
Roy Rogers had to pay
But they're not as famous as Tigger

He was an old boy from Frome
Who'd spent his whole life in one room
He looked on a map
Then put on his cap
And longingly stared at the moon
