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 ?

Sadly she was a poor driver
As well as an artful conniver
She took a bend fast

From which I made hazelnut tea
I must grind those nuts
Before Granny tuts

From which I made hazelnut tea
I must grind those nuts
Before Granny tuts
And blames her cracked denture on me
