I'm my own Grandpaw

I’m My Own Granpaw (By Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe) “Many, many years age when I was twenty-three I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be. This widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red. My Father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed. “This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life, For my daughter was my mother ‘cause she was my Father’s wife. To complicate the matter even though 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, Of 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 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’m 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. As husband of my grandmother. I am now my own GRANDPAW.

Tracey, Yes, this was a song...an old Country & Western song. It was performed at 'The Grand Old Oprey' in the 1920's or 30's. Takes a bit of working out but does make sense in the end.

Well I did'nt know that, Ill have to change the title thread. It might be good to find out what it sounds like. Maureen.
