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 ?

This won't happen again, he swore
Of that I was so very sure
Should I believe him?
The chances are slim

The chances are slim
I think I'll show him the door

Perhaps we'll marry next April

I dream of a wedding in church

I dream of a wedding in church
But dread being left in the lurch

I dream of a wedding in church
But dread being left in the lurch
That just cannot be

But dread being left in the lurch
That just cannot be
There's someone for me

I dream of a wedding in church
But dread being left in the lurch
That just cannot be
There's someone for me
He'll soon come down off his perch.

He thinks he's God's gift to women

Tickledpink Fri 09-Oct-20 19:05:27

He'll soon come down off his perch
When off he goes in his search
For his next lady friend
Who gets caught by this fiend

And she slaps his face with a vengeance.

Welcome Tickledpink. Good Limerick but we take one line at a time and whoever adds the fifth line starts the first line of a new Limerick so..

He thinks he's God's gift to women
In his summer suit in linen

Bellanonna Fri 09-Oct-20 22:18:59

He thinks he's God's gift to women
In his summer suit in linen
With his very fake tan

Jangran99 Fri 09-Oct-20 23:51:35

He thinks he's God's gift to women
In his summer suit in linen
With his very fake tan
The colours all ran

He thinks he's God's gift to women
In his summer suit in linen
With his very fake tan
The colours all ran
Down his suit, which set me grinning.

I think I'm going to stay single

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sat 10-Oct-20 12:28:09

I think I'm going to stay single
I can't be bothered to mingle

Juliet27 Sat 10-Oct-20 12:52:17

I think I'm going to stay single
I can't be bothered to mingle
Or try to impress

Jangran99 Sat 10-Oct-20 19:12:59

I think I'm going to stay single
I can't be bothered to mingle
Or try to impress
By my mode of dress

FarNorth Sun 11-Oct-20 00:58:43

I think I'm going to stay single
I can't be bothered to mingle
Or try to impress
By my mode of dress
Or baubles that jangle and jingle.
