    This seems to be limerick where lines 3 and 4 are compacted into one long line based on the meter of it.

    Those have a rhyming pattern of AABBA, which means Chicago, trouble, and yubble should rhyme.

      Doesn’t seem that way to me? Lines 3 and 4 seem fine as two separate lines, and I’d expect a scheme of ABAB, but because it doesn’t rhyme that way, it’s more like ABCB (which is pretty awkward) where “garage” functions as an ill-fitting slant rhyme for “Chicago”. I suppose “trouble” is kind of a slant rhyme for “Chicago” too though, so AA fits, but then we have AABA with that scheme. Not sure where AABBA can fit.

          Oh I totally see it now. Rhyming car and a garage, splitting line 3 into two lines. Dunno why I derped on that.

          So Chicago is a slant rhyme for trouble and yubble, and car a poor slant rhyme for garage. I think you’re right on the money.
