Like father, like son

Once upon a time a father had a son
And the son and father had lots of fun
But loneliness in bed gave the father strife
So he grabbed himself a second wife
The wife was prepackaged with a son
Whom the father loved more than his real one
His true son was dismayed and went away
Got married and his own son came into the fray
The new father avoided his own one
For the sake of the future of his son
But lest he forget, the popular reflexion
Says 'like father, like son'
