The Ultimate Pickle

For those of you familiar with the game "In a Pickle"...

There is an atom in a speck of dust.
That speck of dust is in a tear in a river in the meadow.
The meadow is in smoke, which is in the fire that appears in the reflection in the eye of the needle in a haystack.
The haystack is in a barn in a picture in the frame that sits in the closet of a bedroom in a house.
That house is in a tornado in the sky.
The sky appears in the telescope in the attic, which is mentioned in the note in the envelope in the jacket lying in the mud.
There is mud in the trunk in the alley in Hollywood.
Hollywood is in the dream of the movie star, who sits in a limousine in a parking lot at the theater.
That theater is in a magazine which was thrown into a vase sitting in the doorway in secret.
There is a secret in the recipe for chocolate.
The chocolate is in the stomach of a giraffe in a telephone booth in a rainstorm in America.
America in the past is in the film in a nutshell.
The nutshell is in a box in a warehouse built in a crater in the circle of danger.
There is danger in life.
Life is in the soul of the president who resides in the White House, which is in power.
There is power in hope, and hope is in money that lays with the gold in a mine in a canyon.
The canyon is somewhere in the world, and the world consumes the thoughts of a tourist.
That tourist is in a jam.
Jam is in the sandwich in the lunch of an elephant in a refrigerator in the jungle.
That's in a joke told by the boy in love.
There is love in the gift of a partridge in a pear tree.
That's in a song in the book lying in a library in the mansion that's in the memory in the girl.
The girl is in a bonnet, which is in a corner of a castle in the forest in the story that is told in the newspaper.
The newspaper was thrown in a dumpster in New York.
That city is in the heart of a theif in a pickle.
There is a pickle at the supermarket in the town square in Paris, which is a city in France.
France is in trouble.
There is trouble in the water, and that is in the big mystery residing in the universe.

And all the universe is in the space of the atom in a speck of dust. . . .
