Pretty anti-climactic, "iiipopes".

Yeah, but remember one of the purposes of a limerick -- to poke a little good natured fun at the subject, and the necessity to tie the last line to the first line.

Another characteristic of a good limerick is that it should be at least a little lewd...

Who acquired quite a taste for armadillo.

They taste just like duck...

OK, if I must tighten the meter - this one only needs a word changed here or there:

There once was a guy named schlepporello
Who acquired a taste for armadillo.
When hit by a truck
They taste just like duck
And washed down with Coke, they're quite mellow!

Great! Now, let's tighten it up:

"iiipopes" is too many they said
and "ivpopes" got stuck in my head,
"vipopes" would be twice,
and "ixpopes" is thrice,
but most of them are already dead!

You guys don't know the irony: I'm the oldest guy alive, at 45, in my family!
