Your Favorite Poems

Not so much a favorite, but I was dining out last weekend and this was presented in a guide provided to customers. It's a great brain teaser if anything..
Family Loop
Many, many years ago
When I was twenty three,
I got married to a widow,
Pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter
With flowing 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.
Now 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 daughters son.
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She's 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!

Shutupandsing:
Anything by William Blake, Lord Byron, like Sylvia Plath
but she sticks in my head a bit as did "The Bell Jar" that book was disturbing, I found it hard to shake out of my head. I like Samuel Coleridge as well-his laudinum influenced poetry speaks volumes. For lighter moments
Lewis Carrol...or e.e. cummings "the balloon man" it's funny to me he is decribing Pan aka Dionysus.."the goat footed balloon man" great stuff.
