Words that rhyme with Ogre
For the rhyme search, what matters about ogre is this: one-syllable, vowel on the short /ษ/, ending that ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Its job in a lyric is a plain-speech anchor, holding down whatever line it lands in. Run rhymes for ogre through any half-decent engine and you get this shape: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, family rhymes come up empty, and the vowel-only slant column is the deepest of the five. Let the assonance column shape the verse; the strict matches can punctuate it.

Why ogre rhymes the way it does
Pull ogre apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with the round /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 11 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 102, assonance 3,600, and consonance 210. 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. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Ogre rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
