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'd love to see Boris and Trump debate
Even though it was on quite late
What a funny pair
With their matching hair

I'd love to see Boris and Trump debate
Even though it was on quite late
What a funny pair
With their matching hair
And Boris' clothing in a state.

If we just wait, fashions return
And there are some for which I yearn

I liked the mini
Then I was skinny

If we just wait, fashions return
And there are some for which I yearn
I liked the mini
Then I was skinny
But my Mum could be very stern.

He rarely looks neat
That would be a feat
And his hair- is that a weave?
