I met a guy today I knew years ago, when he was 23,
And he was married to a widow who was as pretty as could be.
Now this widow had a grown-up daughter who had beautiful hair of red,
And this guy's father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed.
Now this made the guy's dad his son-in-law and changed his very life
For his daughter was his mother because she was his father's wife.
Now to complicate the matter even though it brought him joy,
He soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
Now his little baby then became a brother-in-law to his dad,
And so became his uncle and though that made him very sad,
For if the baby was his uncle then that also made him brother,
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who was of course his step-mother.
Now his father's wife had a son who kept them on the run,
So he became his grandchild for he was his daughter's son.
His wife is now his mother's mother and of course that makes him blue
Because although she's his wife she's his grandmother too!

- eesmith 7y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_My_Own_Grandpa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_My_Own_Grandpa - " a novelty song written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe, performed by Lonzo and Oscar in 1947 ... Willie Nelson performed the song on his 2001 album The Rainbow Connection" I know of it because "The song is referred to in Robert Heinlein's 1959 time travel paradox short story "—All You Zombies—"." Also, "According to a 2007 article, the song was inspired by an anecdote that has been published periodically by newspapers for well over 150 years".
