(OT) FUNNY POEM

[Richard Brekne]

Got this in the box this evening from my dad... hes all of 89 years old
and just started useing a computer... anyways thought you all might get
a kick out of it

                             REDNECK FAMILY TREE

Many many years ago when I was 23
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.

This widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of fiery 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 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.

My 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 mother and it makes me awfully 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.


                                                                       
Dad
