Neat, Rob!
I have no problem scanning your 'Parisian or Berliner' (as long as I stress the first syllable of Parisian. Unconventional I know, but it's a limerick). However I do stumble at the hurdle of 'human' (unless I quickly and lightly canter over 'The' then make Equidae 'ek-WHY-day' rather than 'EK-wih-dee' - a manoeuvre which I admit doesn't come easily to me!)
Might 'The Equids' be served up in place of 'The Equidae', or alternatively 'as their food sources' replace 'as human food sources'? Dropping one syllable from that line helps me, at least..
