For my family and friends, this is a virtual letter home about my classes and adventures at college. This way, reports on my life don't have to get jumbled down the Mom grapevine.

What the heck is doggerel?
Hurrah! I got the envelope today and I bought my dinner.
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
