"In gambler parlance, this is 'making your point the hard way'; the point could quickly be made by simply saying "I'll take you back when you can ice skate in hell". But this isn't spoken by a gambler, it's spoken by a poet. The poet's purpose is to make the listener consider the immensity of a task like counting all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the world."
