All the Dogs

kids

by Ada Limon

                   All the dogs are chained
                   to the house which
                   is chained to a larger house
                   which is sliding down
                   a downward slope.

                   The large house is chained
                   to an even larger house which
                   is chained to a white house
                   which is sliding down
                   a downward slope.

                   The white house is chained
                   to a gallows pole which
                   is chained to a long rope
                   which is sliding down
                   a downward slope.

                   The long rope is chained

                   to a tight noose which
                   is chained to a mean man
                   who is sliding down
                   a downward slope.

                   The mean man is chained
                   to a mean man who
                   is chained to a mean man,
                   who is chained to a mean man,
                   who is chained to a mean man,
                   who is chained to a mean man,
                   (1.2.3.4)
                   who is sliding down
                   a downward slope.
