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 ?

My laundry was finished today
And I should be ironing, but hey...
It’s too hot for chores
And staying indoors

(some more poetic licence please - ironing pronounced as just two syllables wink)

A group of young girls from down south
Booked a trip to go to Bournemouth *
They travelled by train
It started to rain
And all of them longed for a drouth.

I don’t really care what you think
I like food too much, and, my drink!!
I'm becoming a lush
She said in a hush
Raise a glass and a cheers, chink chink

Yes I should go for the veg
Just eaten a roast tattie wedge
I might have one more
I need to make sure
They count as my five a day pledge.

I know it's not wise to eat sweets
But life is so dull without treats
Soft centred are best
Had em all on test
When looking for something to eat.

( let's just say it's a good job I've got my first hair cut in 5 months on Friday: blinking straighteners )

Sorry, set fire to my hair in the interval between old and new verse. A little disconcerting .
