You belong to an interesting language isolate with whoever wrote this article:

I was puzzled by your phrase "can't rhyme off". Google returns very few instances that are not related to spontaneous spoken word poetry (which is likely an example of convergent evolution). After poking around a bit, it seemed as though I had heard a similar phrase before "try (to|and) rhyme off" in which 'rhyme' is synonymous with 'to list' as well

Best wishes for yourself, your friends and your family during these uncertain times!

That reminds me of a fun Canadian song that got passed around in the early Kazaa days (I had thought it was a Corky and the Juice Pigs song, but it is hard to attribute based on Google):

T'was the Scots that built this Country
