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 ?

A rabbit went walking one day
And met a young doe on the way
"Not seen you before"
Let's walk on some more

A rabbit went walking one day
And met a young doe on the way
"Not seen you before,
I’d like to see more.” shock

And then we can roll in the hay! blush

And met a young doe on the way
"Not seen you before"
Let's walk on some more,
On the hill there's a bale of hay

Beware of the farmer and his shotgun

Be careful when men are too smooth

Jangran99 Mon 03-Aug-20 22:02:25

Perhaps change "smooth"

Be careful when men are too keen

Be careful when men are too keen
They’re not always just what they seem
