Bike riding's on TV from Rio Not somewhere that I'd wish to be, oh I've seen a few bobbles As they ride o'er cobbles Perhaps 'cause they go so con brio.
"Rio" is just a tough word to rhyme well. It seems one must resort to either across-line interweaving as displayed in L2-L3 (not that there's anything wrong with that) or employing a second proper name (which, unless it is a necessary element of the story line, is, in my opinion, substandard). Even G.Legman in his magnum opus "The Limerick" presented [#92]:
