I Am My Own Grandpa

grandpaGreg - he’s the chap over at Futility closet published this today. Reminded this chap of this ….

Sorry - misheard a SHIT song - HIT - got it.

Please don’t judge me on the quality of the song

Well, what should we judge you on then?

To be clear - the song was written by Dwight Latham and Moe Jaffe and first appeared in 1947, and apparently was inspired by something he read by Mark Twain Then again , Wikipedia goes on to reveal that something similar was published in 1822 here in America, which was in turn seems to have been copied from the London Literary Gazette.

Plagiarism has been alive and well for a while then?
