type of rhyme?

[david donnell]

In a song I wrote, I rhyme the words "cocklebur" and "popular"... Or at least, as sung, the vowels in the 3 syllables match well enough for them to work like a rhyme.

...But is it a rhyme, exactly? Or some specific kind of rhyme? (Near rhyme?)

Stanza in question:

Way down Route 666
He found cupid 'n' he found cockleburs
Way down & out in the sticks
She wasn't cute but she sure was popular
