What is another word for hudibrastic verse?
Pronunciation: [hjˌuːdɪbɹˈastɪk vˈɜːs] (IPA) 
Hudibrastic verse is a form of poetry that takes its name from the character Sir Hudibras in Samuel Butler's 17th-century satirical poem Hudibras. The verse is characterized by its irregular meter and rhyming couplets, often used to mock and satirize. Although not commonly used today, there are several synonyms for Hudibrastic verse, including mock-heroic verse, burlesque verse, and doggerel. Mock-heroic verse, popularized in the 18th century, imitates classical epic poetry but ridicules its subject matter. Burlesque verse uses exaggerated and absurd humor to poke fun at societal norms and expectations. Doggerel, on the other hand, is often seen as crude and of little literary value, with irregular rhymes and meter.
