Doggerel

打油诗

Doggerel is a term applied to rough, heavy-footed, and jerky versification, and also to verses that are monotonously regular in meter and tritely conventional in sentiment. Doggerel is usually the result of ineptitude on the part of the versifier, but is sometimes deliberately employed by poets for satiric, comic, or rollicking effect.

打油诗是指那种韵脚粗俗笨拙、行文拗口的诗文，也指韵律单调、情感陈腐、落入俗套的诗文。它往往出自不才诗人之手，但也时常为高手妙用，以取得讽刺、滑稽与幽默的艺术效果。
