I was looking at the thread below on List or Catalog poems. That's basically the idea.
The slam-piece Boddie mentioned not only has a repeating line-- the revolution will not be televised-- at the end of each stanza, but (as I recall) a lead-in: "The revolution will be..." to introduce long lists of parallel items, with frequent rhymes. The tag line concluded each list.
Longer is better. Try to find out how much time is allotted. You must memorise, and recite letter-perfect.
One more thing. You won't win.
