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 ?

Oops! Thanks for the nudge, crazyH!

There once was a PM named Boris

There was a Chancellor called Rishi
Whose nice and not at all fishy
As straight as a die
Not just ‘old school tie’
Compared with the rest he’s quite dishy!!

I'll wear my homemade mask with pride
I've got a few, my face to hide
For the grandkids too
In soft pink and blue
It covers my phiz side to side.

We all do wish to be fearless
Whilst always remaining tearless
We must remain brave
This surely is grave
We don't want this virus near us.

Did we take too much for granted
Our convictions deep implanted
It's just a virus
But I'm desirous
Of a vaccine to keep us undaunted

Meanwhile enjoy autumn weather
Despite the damn virus tether
Ripe nuts, fruit and veg
A big melon wedge
We’ll all get through this together

Perhaps if we all toe the line
The pubs will open from nine o nine
Not just pubs: let's hope
With freedom we'll cope
In time it will all turn out fine.
