Holorime - does it with whole words or fragments

"In Ayrshire hill areas, a cruise, eh, lass?"
"Inertia, hilarious, accrues, hélas!"
—Miles Kington, "A Lowlands Holiday Ends in Enjoyable Inactivity".
"Poor old Dali loped with an amazin' raging cyst, as
poor Roald Dahl eloped with Anna-May's enraging sisters."
—the final line from an unpublished short story by translator Steven F. Smith about the attempts of Salvador Dali and Roald Dahl to woo a pair of Americans.
Copy right infraction? But it seems a big crime to see this and not propagate.
