I Am My Own Grandpa

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 step-mother.

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 now my grandma 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!

We old farts remember this being sung on 'The Grand Ole Opry… :elderly:

It was inspired by Mark Twain, just for another bit of Clavenism…
