THE REDNECK FAMILY TREE

Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three,
I got married to a widow who was as 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 tha matter worse, although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
My little boy then became a brother-in law to dad,
And soon became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that would make 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 mom and that truely 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!
