Words that rhyme with Jar
As a one-syllable word, jar sits on the /ษหr/ vowel and flows into the next line via a liquid. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it.

Why jar rhymes the way it does
Jar is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the broad /ษหr/, then it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 75 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 437, assonance 6,210, and consonance 703. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Jar pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
