Squeezing too much in?

This week's Solihull News letter's page carries this inspiring limerick from someone calling themselves the Bard of Arden...


A line too far

The village of Dorridge was pleasant,

Leafy road, dreamy close, sleepy crescent,

But then Sainsbury’s arrived,

And enriched all our lives.

With a king-sized store, piled high with global produce: 57 types of tea, cheese from many nations, loaves of every conceivable shape and size, 200 beaming staff and umpteen rumbling delivery trucks, all topped off by a picturesque rooftop car park... the excitement was truly incessant.

I wonder if the final line needs some work. Perhaps I am trying to squeeze too much in?
