Assuming no clerical errors, this is everything I've collected:
________________________________________

1.
There was a young fellow of Rhodes
A passionate breeder of toads
But you have to take care
Of the f-word beware
If you dare to say "frog" he explodes.

2.
An average fellow of Rhodes
Works in means, medians, modes
The bell curve he studies
But lunching with buddies
It's gyros and ouzo in loads.

3.
I've penned quite a lot of these odes
These limericks for distant abodes
From Somalia to Spain
Manchester to Maine
And now to the list we add Rhodes.

4.
There once was a Grecian in Rhodes,
So wealthy with gorgeous abodes,
With women all over,
Rolling in clover,
And hanging on him by the loads!

5.
A pleasure boat captain in Rhodes
Never follows the maritime codes
So he quite often sinks
And everyone thinks
He's fool because he overloads.

6.
There once was an ogre of Rhodes
Who ate snakes and lizards and toads
He once swallowed a bat
But the bat knocked him flat
It chewed his intestinal nodes

7.
"Women?" he said, "I've had loads,
"Though my face may resemble a toad's
"And my charms may be lacking
"When you see what I'm packing
"You'll call me the colossus of Rhodes."

8.
When Rome ruled the seaport of Rhodes
Their ships carried many great loads
From Eastward to West
Their seaport was best
For shipping, all Rome leads to Rhodes

9.
A carpenter living in Rhodes
Built a couple of shoddy abodes
And he filled all the cracks
With some leftover wax
That he purchased at Madame Tussaud's.

10.
The Donald once travelled to Rhodes
To purchase some golden commodes
And on them he'd sit
And issue his bit
Of lying and cheating in loads

11.
Faust took his vacation in Rhodes
As it says in the op'ra (Gounod's)
He ate and he ate
Put on much too much weight
From too many pie à la modes.

I'll pick #1

I like 9

Wow! Gotta go for #7 despite the line 5 placement of locale.

I just have to go for #3. It describes us perfectly.

I do like #7, though, Bethree. And I have to give a nod to #10.

Hoo wun? Hoo did whut? Or are you all too shocked by T. Rump's pardoning TWO turkeys to care? (The bird and Michael Flynn)

Well, as 1,3,5 and 7 were all mine and only my vote went somewhere else, I guess that would be me.

OK. Here are the sources:

So, yes, Bob, you're It. Bon Voyage!

Thanks, Hab! It's not easy when there are so few of us.

Are you up next, Bob? I am in a limerick mood.

Coming right up...
