It's an art form really
One of my A level English Lit exam questions was "Is The Canterbury Tales doggerel?".

Yes. At least, I said it was and got a C.

I wrote a deiberately bad poem about a mountain that
goes on for 15 verses. It was for a larp thing and had a magic ability that anyone who heard the first verse was transfixed until the last. I am a git.

If you like I could find it for you now?

I've written a couple of epic poems.
They actually were pretty epic.

Until the 1950's the wool mills in Bradford would close for a couple of weeks in Summer
And every day there'd be about 6 special trains to Morecambe and back.

That's two neat bookends of my life (born near Morecambe, live in Bradford) and I've always fancied writing a doggerel epic of a day to Morecambe, but defining every hour with a different pentameter to express the emotions.

That would almost be brilliant
All it lacks is the syntax-defying wranglings that only the truly bad use to effect a plausible scan - eg:-

I thought tonight that to the pub I'd go
But then in the back of my mind I did know
That I must take my cat to the vet on the morrow
And if a night in The Thornhill I did choose
I'd roll up at the vets stinking of booze
And to the RSPCA my kitty I'd lose.

I thing a sense of shame and decency is all that stiops some of us from doing similar

If you transcend the shame and decency and embrace the concept of the emperor's new clothes
You could make money.
