'bull' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.

'gored leg badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'gored'+'leg'='goredleg'
'goredleg' anagrammed gives 'DOGGEREL'.

(Other definitions for doggerel that I've seen before include "trivial lines" , "lines of inferior quality" , "not great poetry" , "Terrible poetry" , "Poor poetry" .)
