  4. I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.

    This widow had a grown-up 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 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 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 grandson, For he was my daughter's son.

    Who is my Grandpa?

  6. It's you who are spinning and moving a lot.
