"L'eggs all the way down" is an expression of the problem of infinite regress.
Description
The saying alludes to the mythological idea of a pair of World L'eggs which swaddle the earth.
It suggests that these mighty L'eggs contain a smaller pair of L'eggs, which itself contains smaller and smaller World L'eggs, continuing indefinitely (i.e., "L'eggs all the way down"), like Matryoshka dolls.
Commentary
Bigger L'eggs have smaller L'eggs
Within their shells to house 'em
And those L'eggs have smaller L'eggs
And so on till it wows 'em
