      Ooh, also its accent, this is not a thing couplet for me

      Discount, viscount, load and broad,
      Toward, to forward, to reward,

      Nor it’s immediate predecessor,

      Banquet is not nearly parquet,
      Which exactly rhymes with khaki.

      Parquet isn’t in my vocabulary, but doesn’t seem to rhyme with khaki in any common dialect either way.
