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 ?

People will revel in the sun
But others might just cut and run
For me, dappled shade
Sunscreen by the spade

But others might just cut and run
For me, dappled shade
Sunscreen by the spade
Because sun burn is no such fun

I look in the mirror and sigh

I look in the mirror and sigh
It’s true that the glass does not lie

I look in the mirror and sigh
It’s true that the glass does not lie,
Shows up each wrinkle

It’s true that the glass does not lie,
Shows up each wrinkle
Though my eyes twinkle

It's true that the glass does not lie
Shows up each wrinkle
Though my eyes twinkle
Perhaps a face lift I should try.

We may be cheeky, not obscene.

Are we addicted, do you think?

You two were three seconds from being in perfect sync!

It takes great minds in perfect sync.
In spotting a rhyme...

Don't think I'll last the whole six months
So must brush up my accomplishments

But I'll try my best
And invite no guest
That way I’ll receive no punishments

There are some things I'll really miss
So why don't we all reminisce?

To indulge once again would be bliss!
