Second verse - same as the first.
My ex-wife’s first husband: Two of his brothers got divorced, then married each other’s exes - and then both couples moved into a house together.
How about:
Daddy leaves mommy and baby to build a slumlord empire. He collects the rent in person - cash.
Yeah, after a couple of decades, the IRS notices.
Daddy has “crown jewel” property, which the IRS is trying on for size. Baby is now 18+, so daddy puts the title of crown jewel in kid’s name and moves him in (rent control).
Not surprisingly to anybody, baby turns out bad - as in prison bad.
Fast forward. Baby is now 36 and out of prison. Baby is found dead of OD in motel.
Hold on, folks, it gets strange:
Daddy recruits “buddy” to move body. Daddy boxes up baby and puts him in basement of crown jewel, behind a false wall,
Daddy now also lives in crown jewel.
Unrelated to any of this, the police are called to crown jewel. Daddy sees police, decides “Game Over”, steps outside with pistol and kills self.
There’s more - disputed will, judgements reversed on appeal, a woman who married baby for no apparent reason, sleazy lawyers, and enough misc. for an entire season.
And he could have hired a headcutter who knew his job a little better. He should have buried the body and the head far far away from each other, lest she come back with her head tucked underneath her arm.
I knew I’d told this one before…
Extra kicker, not included in that piece:
Dr C claimed that he was unhappy in his marriage because Mrs C only gave him daughters (well, Mrs C and… not Mrs C). The additional children from his second marriage have all been daughters. The son his second wife was carrying when she filed for divorce from her first husband is the first husband’s. Local women tend to view this detail with extreme glee, “she only gave him daughters, uh? Gee, seems like he only makes daughters!”; take into account that those women begin by finding the sexism inherent in “she only gave me daughters” enormously offensive.
