|
Many many years ago when I was twenty three,
|
|
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
|
|
This widow had a grown-up daughter
|
|
Who had 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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's my grandmother too.
|
|
|
|
If my wife is my grandmother,
|
|
Then I am her grandchild.
|
|
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!
