I take no (repeat, no) credit for this, but pass it on to whom it may concern. I did change the title to protect the not so innocent.



Susie Lee done fell in love,
She planned to marry Joe.
She was so happy 'bout it all,
She told her Pappy so.

Pappy told her, "Susie Gal,
You'll have to find another.
I'd just as soon yo' maw don't know,
But Joe is yo' half-brother."

So Susie put aside her Joe,
And planned to marry Will.
But, after telling Pappy this,
He said, "There's trouble still.

You cain't marry Will, my gal,
And please don't tell yo' mother,
But Will and Joe and several mo'
I know is yo' half-brother."

But Mama knew and said "My Child,
Just do what makes yo' happy.
Marry Will or marry Joe,
....you ain't no kin to Pappy.

*trouble in paradise* LOL

ouch. this one hits kinda close...see, it sounds a bit like my family! mom died 13 years ago; 'bout a year or so later, daddy met mom's brother's daughter (my blood cousin); they fell in love, and the rest is history. daddy was only related to her through marriage to mom...now he's married to her! LOL "that's keepin it all in the family"

(((HUGS))) and love,

karla.
