Poem hunt

[Megarobot]

Hello,

I don't particularly remember any of the words for this poem -- just the way it made me feel.

It contains three words that are repeated a couple of times and they have "or" in between -- "x, y, or z" (I don't remember the actual words/phrases) just that it's repeated towards the end.

I know this is a long shot, but I wanted to see if someone would have any idea which poem this might be. I heard him recite it on YouTube, but cannot find it.

Thanks.

Maybe the poem also has the word "the" it.

Really not a lot to go on. If someone (Like Hank Solo) can find it, I will say that he is king of the internet.

The phrase was "Too much, too little, too fat, too thin, or nobody". "People are not good to each other" is what he repeats...

Ah, okay. That poem is called The Crunch. Here's an interesting thread about it...
