I believe Gejyspa did mean to put "lo ka rimni" in the x3 place:

[fa] tu
[cu] dunli
[fe] le krasi
[fi] lo ka rimni

tu = my adaptation of "pop goes the weasel"
le krasi = the original source, that is, "pop goes the weasel" itself
lo ka rimni = a quality of rhyming

There are various ways to be "dunli", for instance two things which
are "dunli fi lo ka clani" are equally long, and two things which are
"dunli fi lo ka xunre" are equally red.  To be "dunli fi lo ka rimni",
then, is to equally rhyme, to rhyme the same, so Gejyspa's bridi says
that my version rhymes the same way as the original.

You could also say: "tu dunli le krasi be le rimni", but it would mean
"that is equal to the source of the rhyming thing (in some property)".
 Perhaps it has the same rhyme, or perhaps it's equally long or
equally relevant to oysters.  (You wouldn't usually say "krasi be lo
ka", because usually a selkrasi is an object or event, not a quality.)
