American Celebrity Matryoshka Doll Set

What if you found yourself the third iteration
In an American Celebrity Matryoshka doll set,
Subsequent to an uncomfortably oversized Walter Cronkite,
(he himself subsequent to a colossal Shirley Temple)
antecedent to a miniature Abraham Lincoln,
his top hat sweetly settled into the absence of humanity
just below your nose, and hidden in him a secret Clara Bow
and within her a pygmiesque Donald Trump,
where follows:
At the heart of everything (your heart?) 
a miniscule King George III,
clutching an even littler 
Declaration of Independence,
laughing, laughing, laughing.
