Shel Silverstein - I`m My Own Grandpa
Work rating: Low

It was many many years ago when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow, she`s as pretty as can be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red,
my father fell in lover with her, and soon these two were wed.

I`m my own grandpa, I`m my own grandpa.
It sounds silly, I know, but it really is so, oh
I`m my own grandpa.

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life:
My daughter was my mother `cause she was my father`s wife.
And then to complicate the matter, though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

This bouncing 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 he also was the brother
of the widow`s grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my step-mother.

I`m my own grandpa, I`m my own grandpa.
It sounds silly, I know, but it really is so, oh
I`m my own grandpa.

Father`s wife then had a son who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandchild, 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.

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild.
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw.
Husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa.

I`m my own grandpa, I`m my own grandpa.
It sounds silly, I know, but it really is so, oh
I`m my own grandpa.
