Why jester rhymes the way it does
The rhyme map for jester starts at the vowel โ the /ษหr/ vowel, IPA /ษหr/ โ and ends where the line spills out through a liquid consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 16 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 159, assonance 12,155, and consonance 462. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. In the room with a guitar: write toward the strict rhyme first, then go back through and replace the obvious ones with the assonance matches that earned their place. Jester is a word that benefits from the second pass.
