Surf City

The surf store in my neighborhood
Finally did close.
The ocean’s miles away
And so it figures, I suppose.

I never really understood
Who were its clientele;
Although, of course, a surfer can
Within a city dwell.

But where’d they take their lessons?
The East or Hudson River?
I’d think that both would lack the waves
An ocean could deliver.

I hope the customers have found
A new place they can surf,
With possibly some better swells
Than New York City turf!
