Crude verse (8)
I believe the answer is:
doggerel
'crude verse' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for doggerel that I've seen before include "not great poetry" , "lines of inferior quality" , "Terrible poetry" , "William McGonagall's kind of poetry?" , "Burlesque verse" .)
