I love these.

My trick, such as it is, is twofold.

1 - Write it in a spreadsheet so the repeating lines default in in the correct places, and so that any changes are uniformly applied to them,

2 - write the two repeated lines first, making sure that they make good sence in either order AND as stand alone lines. If you can work in a pun for the end rhymes as well then you're on to a winner!
