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 ?

Mad cat lady's what I will be
Happy with feline company
And loads of fab books
About love, or crooks

A beautiful Sunday, with nowhere to go
My church is shut and and the shops are a 'no'

It's cream cakes again

My church is shut and the shops are a `no`
It`s cream cakes again
Must choose, cakes or men?

I’ll have both and go with the flow.

I'm sorry it’s Monday again
And once more it's tipping down rain

I'm sorry it's Monday again
And once more it's tipping down rain
But please don't be sad

I'm sorry it's Monday again
And once more it's tipping down rain
But please don't be sad
Not everything's bad

I'm sorry it's Monday again
And once more it's tipping down rain
But please don't be sad
Not everything's bad
The vino will help ease the pain!

Poor Fatima can no longer dance
But into IT she will happily prance

Such havoc she'll wreak

But to IT she will happily prance.
Such havoc she'll wreak
Their toes she will tweak

But to IT she will happily prance.
Such havoc she'll wreak
Their toes she will tweak
And their desk bound lives she’ll enhance.

No bullet points but ballet points!

No bullet points but ballet points!
And soon arthritis in her joints.

No bullet points but ballet points!
And soon arthritis in her joints.
Clicking and popping

No bullet points but ballet points!
And soon arthritis in her joints.
Clicking and popping
But there’s no stopping

No bullet points but ballet points!
And soon arthritis in her joints
Clicking and popping
But there's no stopping
That office work still disappoints.

I'd love to be a millionaire
And pretty too, with golden hair
Lips like red rosebuds
And new clothes, not duds

Lips like red rosebuds
And new clothes, not duds
And Ferraris, not one, but a pair

Is it the weather or is it just me ?

Did MissTree give up in despair?
Is she wailing and tearing her hair?
For the rules she requested
It seems, are detested
And flouted - does nobody care?

You’ve just given us a fine example of a limerick, bradford, and in addition it’s really good too! ?
