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 ?

He was an old boy from Frome
Who'd spent his whole life in one room
He looked on a map

Go for it, Crazy but we might need some help ???

MissTree Tue 04-Aug-20 12:02:14

You do not disappoint, Bathsheba ?

We’d gone down the lane to Cholmondeley
With a lass who was quite comely
She was crimped and coiffed
Dressed just in her shift
The coachman reacted dumbly

Gosh - I didn't realise there were such difficult places (names) in England... wait till I start with the Welsh names ?

Morning all . Thinking cap on ?

here was an old man from Featherstonhaugh
Who rode in an old coach and four
Two horses went lame
And I got the blame
For driving them hard on the moor .

Thank you for making me laugh several times today, Jangran, even if you didn’t mean to!

Jangran99 Mon 03-Aug-20 23:11:48

Said he - I’m not that sort of buck
Whose only goal is a quick f***blush
I'd like you to know
Lim(e)ricks should flow
And mustn’t end in muck !

I think it is time for a sleep
These lim(e)ricks are making me weep
Praps after a nap
Our brains will come back
And we won’t have to use the bleep

Jangran99 Mon 03-Aug-20 22:29:19

I give up gringrin

Jangran99 Mon 03-Aug-20 22:28:09

Annum. You could start a naughty limericks thread ? I’ll start you off .
Rumpy Pumpy sat on a wall
Only joking ??‍♀️

Jangran99 Mon 03-Aug-20 22:19:38

We’re too keen on this new game and all adding at the same time.

Annum Mon 03-Aug-20 22:09:02
