Crossword Genius

Lodger e.g. producing nonsense (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doggerel

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

'lodger e g producing' is the wordplay.
'producing' indicates an anagram.
'lodger'+'e'+'g'='lodgereg'
'lodgereg' anagrammed gives 'DOGGEREL'.

(Other definitions for doggerel that I've seen before include "Burlesque verse" , "questionable verse" , "Terrible poetry" , "Irregular comic verse" , "William McGonagall's kind of poetry?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
