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 fathers 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 widows grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother.
Fathers wife then had a son,
Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson,
For he was my daughters son.
My wife is now my mothers mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
Shes 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!

Too long and complicated. I thought you'd post a funny picture of a tree or something.

There is a kid's song called "I'm my own Grandpa" with those exact same words. My son has it on a tape of silly songs. He used to play that tape all the time and it would drive me crazy sometimes to listen to that song.
