Crossword Genius

Follow good reel about comic verse (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doggerel

'comic verse' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'follow good reel about' is the wordplay.
'follow' becomes 'dog' (dog can mean to follow or torment).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'reel' is an anagram of 'erel'.
'dog'+'g'+'erel'='DOGGEREL'

(Other definitions for doggerel that I've seen before include "Nonsense verse" , "William McGonagall's kind of poetry?" , "Very bad poetry or verse" , "Poor quality comic or trivial verse" , "Poor poetry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
