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 ?

Is it the weather or is it just me?
I’m lethargic and tired as can be

I'm lethargic and tired as can be
My moth opens wide
Am I on the slide?

It's boredom I think, and ennui.

A holiday is what I need

A holiday is what I need,
So that, from my cares, I’ll be freed.

I'd love to sail away
To the Caribbean, indeed !!

Went to the travel shop for books

Who dares holiday?!
I'd love to sail away
But to the rules I must accede.

In my mind there is confusion

Went to the travel shop for books
No harm in taking a few looks

Went to the travel shop for books
No harm in taking a few looks
At sun, sand and sea

But I’m fine to live in my murk
Dust, two inches thick
Makes some folks feel squick
