    It is debatable whether paparazzi and Benghazi rhyme. technically the rimes of the final syllables match, but many speakers would intuitively include the previous syllable in assessing rhyme, as it appears the author did, and that doesn't work. Benghazi is pronounced [bɛngɑːzi] while paparazzi is [pæpəɹætsi]. Different consonants in the penultimate segment.

    This is... the least important post I have ever made.

      Rime is salt. Are you making some kind of poetic statement about the Middle East and Italian photographers? This is why I never write poetry. I just don't get the hang of it.

      As an absolute hypochondriac, I am constantly checking my nails, tongue, skin, etc.

      I checked my reflection but I didn't know what to look for so I'm sure I have thyroid disease.

            Well-played! Mine were always "found" behind the ears, as I recall, so thoroughness is recommended.
