Most people I know pronounce lesson like "lessin." It's not uncommon (which, by the way I pronounce "uncommin"). I don't thik it was a forced rhyme, I think that is a perfectly normal way of speaking depending on where you are from. I'm from the Northeastern part of the U.S. Where do you live?
ETA: So far I have asked people from NY, NJ, PA, MI, IL, IN, MO, CA, FL, and VA. And Everyon I asked pronounces the word as if it were spelled L-E-S-S-I-N.

Don't want to stress anyone out with the last few posts, so lets move on to tonights favorite rhyme:
Dancing through life
Swaying and sweeping
And always keeping
Cool
Life is FRAUGHT LESS
When you're THOUGHTLESS
Those who don't try
Never look foolish
Dancing through life
Mindless and careless
Make sure you wear less
Trouble is RIFE
Woes are fleeting
Blows are glancing
When you're dancing
Through LIFE

I think you found the problem there.
I say Lesson, just with a short 'O' sound rather than a long one. Isn't it 'lessons' anyway?

One of my favorite rhymes, though quite simple, is this:
The hands on the clock turn
but don't sing a nocturne
just yet.

So... I might be wrong... but I don't think these are set up as a rhyme. Do "cool" and "fool" rhyme? Sure. But I don't think that their locations make it a rhyming set.

It is a rhyming scheme. I'm not sure which but it's either called a Half-Double Rhyme or a Trailing Rhyme.
Take a look at this site:

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I
My tender heart tends to start to BLEED
And When someone needs a makeover
I simply have to takeover
I know I know exactly what they NEED
I'm not sure exactly of the rhyming scheme by "tender heart" - "tends to start" and I'm too tired right now to figure it out. When i do, I'll edit the post.
