Too This Too That
Everything
"too" anything
is faultfinding too
Anything "too" anything
is judgment's whoop-de-doo
Too wet, too dry, too just, too sly
Too good, too bad, too gay, too sad
Too far, too near, too poor, too dear
Too large, too small, too short, too tall
Too dark, too bright, too fresh, too trite
Too smart, too dumb, too keen, too numb
Too cute, too plain, too proud, too vain
Too bold, too shy, too weak, too spry,
Too hot, too cold, too young, too old
Too high, too low, too fast, too slow
Too thin, too fat, too this, too that
Everything "too" everything
may cause a switcheroo
from carping review
about the "too"
