Old William Shakespeare, that eloquent sage,
Once said (rather, wrote) that the whole world’s a stage.
But then if you accept that that statement is true,
Every stage in the world must be on that stage, too.
And to follow that logic, then what is implied
If those stages have also got stages inside?
In a massive stage-fractal of shows-within-shows…
Care to find out just how deep this rabbit hole goes?*

*No, the poem doesn't scan in iambic pentameter,
It's actually in anapestic tetrameter.
Or, to put it a way that’s not quite so abstruse,
It’s a little less Shakespeare, and more Dr. Seuss.
