Redneck family tree

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 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 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 mom.
And it surely makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She is 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!

Good ol Ray stevens, right?

i recited that in my speech class once. i got a lot of odd looks.

That is so funny. I can't stop laughing.

That was great.

Wow, that was confusing

Much older than Ray Stevens. Don't recall the writer though. Song's called "I'm My Own Grandpa".

That was on the movie "The Stupids". Stupid movie, good song.

Phill Harris did a good recording of that song in the 40's, it is on the "Best of" album that I purchased 15 years or so back .

Best Poem Ever!!!

classic!
