Don't believe that there is a word that rhymes with wasp.

Since there is no PERFECT rhyme, the best you can do is match the "as" part (matching or coming close on the vowel-sound... which will vary by dialect), and ending with another 'unvoiced stop' -- /k/ or /t/ instead of /p/.
-ost [the vowel sound is slightly different in most dialects of English, but is close)
bossed, embossed, cost, crossed, flossed, frost, glossed, lost, sauced, tossed, exhaust
-osk
bosk, abelmosk, mosque, kiosk (the last will work best with "TREE wasp" which matches the accent pattern)
you might find some rhymes work better if you start with the plural "wasps":
costs, frosts, exhausts
bosks, abelmosks, kiosks, mosques
with a slightly different vowel, you might find that the following work:
brusque, cusp, dusk, husk musk, rusk, tusk
one other possible option= drop the final consonant
-oss
boss, cross, dross, floss, gloss, hoss, loss, moss, sauce, toss
or with a closely related (unvoiced "th" for "s")
swath, swathe, moth
As for reversing the last two consonants -- this does not work nearly so well as other options, but might do in some cases:
bops, chops, cops, crops, drops, fops, flops, etc.
(same with clocks, etc.)

I checked a rhyming thing on the 'Net and it said there is no perfect rhymes.
Other words without a rhyme: calendar and orange.

"knosp" rhymes perfectly.
Definition: unopened bud of a flower.
I don't think anything else matches the sound.

"Tossed" is close.
I was walking outside,
and got stung by a wasp.
I picked up a rock,
and at him I tossed.
