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 ?

This won't happen again, he swore
Of that I was so very sure
Should I believe him?
The chances are slim

The chances are slim
I think I'll show him the door

Someone with a name like Fasial
Who’ll stay good and true
Only me he'll woo
Perhaps we'll marry next April

And be kind at least

And be kind at least
Already prepared my trousseau!

But dread being left in the lurch
That just cannot be
There's someone for me
He'll soon come down off his perch.

He thinks he's God's gift to women

He'll soon come down off his perch
When off he goes in his search
For his next lady friend
Who gets caught by this fiend

And she slaps his face with a vengeance.

Welcome Tickledpink. Good Limerick but we take one line at a time and whoever adds the fifth line starts the first line of a new Limerick so..

He thinks he's God's gift to women

He thinks he's God's gift to women
In his summer suit in linen
With his very fake tan

In his summer suit in linen

In his summer suit in linen
With his very fake tan
The colours all ran
Down his suit, which set me grinning.

I think I'm going to stay single
I can't be bothered to mingle
Or try to impress

I think I'm going to stay single
I can't be bothered to mingle
Or try to impress
By my mode of dress

I think I'm going to stay single
I can't be bothered to mingle
Or try to impress
By my mode of dress
Or baubles that jangle and jingle.
