Many, many years ago When I was twenty-three, I got married to a widow, Pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter With flowing hair of red. My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life. Now my daughter was my mother,
For she was my father`s wife. To complicate the matters worse, Although it brought me joy. I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became A brother-in-law to dad. And so became my uncle, Though it made me very sad. For if he was my uncle, Then that also made him brother to the widow`s grown-up-daughter Who, of course, was my stepmother. CONFUSED???!!!.. Relax... Go ahead.. Father`s wife then had a son, Who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter`s son, My wife is now my mother`s mother And it makes me blue. Because, although she is my wife, She is my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, Then I am her randchild. And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild. For now I have become The strangest case you ever saw. As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa ! |
