Cheers for the Reed

Cheers for the Reed:

Not long before my move to the city of modern explorers,

There was a legendary friend of mine

Who always looked good in a mirror

And would be faster than a canine,

Though at firsthand,

It appeared he wouldn’t make the first-place stand

Ben was once an average runner

Who was always nice to others,

Including sister Anna and friend Jennifer Lux,

But whose overall strength couldn’t handle catching for a cunner

In ice cold waters of Alaska and also limited his druthers

To choose what events to choose, would’ve never carried a Middle Age poleax

Jennifer and others, such as Sarah Lichtman,

Believed in him and when thinking of snooty Dow,

Ben, along with friend Lex Hollenbeck,

Had a brilliant plan

To let their true colors shine and wow

Everyone at 2010 track see every sec

Of their strengths and speeds

Improve and guide all Chemics with valuable leads

Eventually having the all-time best time of 15:42

For the old 5k race,

Ben was always thankful for his crew

Who spread luck and grace

For him and Midland High

As his mhs experiences were almost at nigh

Along with his cute, Pooh Bare mom and charming daddy,

All who know him shall continue to praise the lad

While being as useful as a baseball batty

And being a college runner and University of Michigan grad!
