The grass was green, the sky blue, it couldn't have been sunnier.

The cross-country team started its season filled with glee,

The Lord Jeffs won their meet, and finished one-two-three.

Matt Katz came in first, with Mike Page at his heels,

John Stanton-Geddes finished third, those Jeff men have wheels!

Four-tenths of a second separated the men, they finished as a team,

The others were 10 seconds back, no match for Amherst's steam.

Six teams left with a loss that day, a bad way to start the season,

But not the Jeffs, they're one and oh, winners for three reasons.

Undefeated for at least two weeks, the win is really sweet,

Katz, Page and Stanton-Geddes really gave Bub's quite a treat.

On the 20th they'll run again, on UMass-Dartmouth's course,

Bub's hopes the Jeffs win again, these three leading the force.
