Old barn in Marshall County, Kansas~~~**~~~**~~~
Conceived in need, and built with pride
By careful loving hands
Mystique, with styles of purpose blend
From your ancestral lands
Your mow and stall made food for all
With plenty left to sell
You’ve sheltered countless herds and flocks
And served your masters well
Technology, or laziness
It’s hard to trace the blame
For our neglect of your distress
We all share common shame
As future craftsmen reconstruct
Your every joint and truss
May history be as kind to you
As you have been to us
A death no reason justifies
A tragic way to end
So as we say our last goodbyes
We must add, "Thank You, Friend"
Ode to Barns Past
Conceived in need, and built with pride
By careful loving hands
Mystique, with styles of purpose blend
From your ancestral lands
Your mow and stall made food for all
With plenty left to sell
You’ve sheltered countless herds and flocks
And served your masters well
Technology, or laziness
It’s hard to trace the blame
For our neglect of your distress
We all share common shame
As future craftsmen reconstruct
Your every joint and truss
May history be as kind to you
As you have been to us
A death no reason justifies
A tragic way to end
So as we say our last goodbyes
We must add, "Thank You, Friend"
