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 ?

I think I'll sail off in a boat
Provided the old yacht will float
So it's sink or swim
I'm off on a whim

What will you be when you grow up?
I'll read the tea leaves in my cup
My fortune I’ll see
Be it gloom or glee
I'll tell you when you say 'Eh up?'

We just have to slap on a smile
Although it's really such a trial
Then I find it's best
If I'm feeling stressed
To strut my stuff with great style.

We just have to slap on a smile
And to go crazy for a while

I think you forgot to refresh CrazysmileI

I fear viewing the virus charts
Will really not gladden our hearts
My head's in the sand
I don't understand
But things are not good in these parts

There’s so many acorns this year
Much nutrition value, I hear
For squirrels they’re good
If they’re in a mood

There’s so many acorns this year
Much nutrition value, I hear
For squirrels they’re good
For feeding their brood
They’re also welcome food for deer
