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 ?

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
Till a thorn got stuck in my tush.

I hollered and jumped up and down

Just then at the foot of the hill

It would be a pity to drown.

I gave Dave a meaningful scowl

The city was lit up so bright
A jewel in the crown of the night
Nightclubs inviting
It felt so exciting
But then there broke out a big fight

I’m not sure how it was started

But they just could not be parted
Police with truncheons
Down to the dungeons
But nothing could make them downhearted.

Henetha!
Message from the Limerick Police.

Would you like to come to my counting skool ? I am a star pupil because as I demonstrated yesterday I don’t keep to the rules 88558. It works so much better if we do ?

So pretty please would you count up your last 2 lines again ?

With anger a-seethin' and bubblin'
