Fran's Barns (County Route 20)
ponytailed Fran he's not young
married to a woman named Jan
some people call her Fran him Jan
once she made them wear name tags to a potluck
Fran spent his life collecting
beautiful barns takes them apart
puts them under blue tarps on a big hill right where they live
231 barns he has all post and beam some English some Dutch
some without clear explanation
people buy barns from Fran he builds them again
piece by piece by piece
a careful man what he loves
taking them apart then having the chance
to put them together. When Fran
shows you one of his graceful piles
he always says, " Imagine what a barn this was."
