Alex Menard

Alex Menard, I've been waiting for the moment

I receive a letter in the mail you will have sent,

Inviting back the class of 2008,

But three more years I will have to wait. 

You are the perfect candidate 

To plan a reunion,

You'll order the fine wines 

So we can drink like Communion.

I know you're human,

But it's hard to accept;

Sometimes you seem so flawless,

Like you're on a higher step.

Do you wake up like that?

Tell me "No, it takes work,"

That normal people like me

Can, with time and effort, 

Produce the same spark.

Just as a tuning fork

Resonates the same sound

Of a nearby fork 

That someone has pound,

Other people shine brighter

When you are around; 

The law of resonance

Lifts your friends off the ground.

I hope you like England 

And that you learning new slang.

Just don't lose your American twang.

You learning to curate,

And I think that's great.

Fine art is fun to appreciate,

And I appreciate you 

And the hard work you put in

To everything you do;

Such a good student;

Our class president.

I know at our reunion,

I'll be happy I went!
