    It doesn’t literally rhyme, but it’s a decent metaphor. Much more pithy and it gets the point across.

      Thats my point though, its not a good metaphor. Rhyming doesn’t mean ‘two things that are similar but have different surface details’, it means ‘two things that sound the same but have totally separate and unique purpose/meaning’. If anything saying it rhymes would mean its alike on a surface level but different in truth, which is the opposite of the message the quote is trying to convey i think.
