What the heck is doggerel?

Hurrah! I got the envelope today and I bought my dinner.

From Wikipedia:

Doggerel describes verse considered of little literary value. The word is derogatory (SORRY), from Middle English.

Doggerel might have any or all of the following failings:
* trite, cliche, or overly sentimental
* forced or imprecise rhymes
* faulty metre
* misordering of words to force correct metre
