>Heineman's cancer fundraiser is now collecting for her funeral.
Am I crazy or does that sentence have, I don't know how to explain it, the 'rhythm' of a joke? Feels like accidental rhyming, a mark of bad writing?

It unfortunately reads a bit like an unintentional punchline, yes.
My family would say that sentence “with a wry smile”, a useful literary phrase for that particular variant of humor.
Sounds like it’s trying to be ironic
