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 Michaelmas daisies look sad
I'll take some advice from Grandad
He's so old and wise
So it's no surprise

None of his plants turn out bad

Newbies are allowed a bit of leeway. 9 syllables ! Should be 8. You don’t want to stand on the naughty step do you ?

Think I’ll go to bed if I may
But not with a man
Good book if I can
And then in full peace I can lay

I hope he's not travelling far!
