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 ?

If I could be twenty again
Would I still do what I did then?
Stay up all night long
Ignore right and wrong
I wish I'd befriended more men

I went to a single sex school

I went to a single sex school
No boys were allowed that's the rule

I thought I was acting so cool.

And raced out of town

My first boyfriend Dave had a car
Beside him I felt like a star
We put the top down
And raced out of town
Till we ran out of petrol, and tar.

So we were stuck out in the sticks

We began to yell
“Help us get out of this fix”

Dave said that we’d just have to push

I'm bursting to go in the bush
With my legs crossed tight
I felt quite alright
