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 ?

Sadly she was a poor driver
As well as an artful conniver

There was a young lad from Paris
Dallied with a girl called Harris
They went out to tea
Tres chic, disagree?
Lent her his Toyota Yaris

A brilliant Oxford scholar was he
Developed the persona we see
With his posh stammer
Distinct lack of glamour
I wouldn't invite him to tea

A smart Oxford scholar was he
Didn't gain a first class degree

Clothes make the the man, I believe
Well Boris and clothes I could leave
He rarely looks neat
That would be a feat
And his hair- is that a weave?

You can't go out half dressed, she'd say
Almost everything's on display!
Take that off at once
Don't be such a dunce
You'll be talk of the town today

If we just wait, fashions return
And there are some for which I yearn
I liked the mini
Then I was skinny
But my Mum could be very stern.

I'd love to see Boris and Trump debate
Even though it was on quite late
What a funny pair
With their matching hair
And Boris' clothing in a state.
