Check your second stanza syllable count. You lose this round.

Can we at least wait until the Puerto Rico check clears the bank before writing one to Rio.

Oh, damn me all to hell.
I throw a hundred babies in the air, and let just one drop, and everybody notices.
What rhymes with “Zika”? I’m stumped.

This can’t be. We are constantly told how places like Brazil are multicultural nirvanas.

Welcome to HellViolent crime: check.
Polluted water: check.
Close enough.

"Rio de Janeiro police officers are warning tourists that theyre on their own this summer as the Brazilian city struggles to cope with rising violent crime ..." Quite telling about the sort of people who inhabit Rio.
Why people have thought of Rio as a great place
to visit or vacation is beyond my understanding.
It's dangerous and filthy.
To be honest; I've never been there and have no plans
of ever visiting the place.

“Have you tried Liveleak.com?”
I have. The site is chock full of videos showing the lawlessness and abject poverty in Brazil. There are literally hundreds of videos of police killing street thugs, and vice versa.
