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 ?

A rabbit went walking one day
And met a young doe on the way
"Not seen you before"

There was an old man in a car
Whose driving was simply bizarre
Zigzagging along
He burst into song
I hope he's not travelling far!

I’m having a really bad day
Think I’ll go to bed if I may
But not with a man
Good book if I can
And then in full peace I can lay

Newbies are allowed a bit of leeway. 9 syllables ! Should be 8. You don’t want to stand on the naughty step do you ?

There was an old woman from Leeds
Who took great delight in misdeeds
She got up to tricks
With her wild antics
Even swallowed the rosary beads .

Sorry I’m new ??

My Michaelmas daisies look sad
I'll take some advice from Grandad
He's so old and wise
So it's no surprise
None of his plants turn out bad
