In Walking Distance

In walking distance from my house

Are restaurants a’plenty.

In just a 5 block radius,

There must be more than 20.

 

There also are a lot of stores –

For food or drugs or liquor

And also several hospitals

(Though cabs get you there quicker).

 

In walking distance, there is art –

Just choose a cool museum

And Google the exhibits now

Then stroll on by to see ‘em.

 

You need an outfit, socks or shoes?

A book of stamps? Some flowers?

No matter what, it can be bought –

Just double-check the hours.

 

A city life has lots of noise

But anyone you talk to

Will tell you that it’s wonderful

To have so much to walk to.
