Son of a Gun

If you were born a son of a gun
Life for you would not be fun
Because you'll never know your Dad
Or who was he if you had?
He could have been anyone.
You poor bastard Son of a Gun!

Very clever and thought-provoking, Shirley. I have used that phrase when I am surprised at something. But your use of it is certainly appropriate.

Thank you, Milt. I agree, I understood the phrase " shotgun wedding" I was curious about SOAG, the answer was surprising but not in the way I had originally thought. Take care, Shirley.

If you watch, "Finding Your Roots" on TV, you will see where DNA tests clearly establish which of two brothers was the biological father! Aloha!

How would you know if you are marrying a sibling? Perhaps that's why there are so many mixed up people in the world. (I had to look up "Gedcoms" Rico) Thank you for Info and kind comment.
