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 ?

I do wish I enjoyed housework
But I’m fine to live in my murk
Dust, two inches thick
Makes some folks feel squick what a great word smile
'Cos that's where big spiders might lurk

I think I should get a cleaner

Dust, two inches thick
Makes some folks feel squick
From vaccing and dusting I shirk.

Whose spreads were all out of kilter
So now I make jam
And cure my own ham,
Freeze stew to last thru the winter

An ornithologist from Oake
Went to the river for a soak
Saw a kingfisher
Took a great picture
And sold it to a naturalist bloke
