The old barn beam with a tenon
Held up a barn for over 50 years

The old barn beam became worn and weathered,
Chipped and cracked
Water stains from rain through holes in the roof

The old barn beam with a tenon.
Got cut down by some men
An old teacher came along and claimed the beam with a tenon
Stuck it in his English class

The old barn beam with a tenon
Forever stayed in the English class

Collecting dust, taking up space
Like it never was even there

Until the days he brought the old barn beam with a tenon out
From the corner of his room

Showing off his old barn beam with a tenon
Teaching students of being descriptive in the boring English class
