Surf Life 2

By Mr King

Life is like surfing...
The waves of energy gather and its up to you learn how to ride them.

Use a long board on small waves at first because...
Its like starting out with training wheels on a bike.

Don't kick and splash around...
This is not a swimming pool!

Yield gracefully to your fellow surfer...
Realize that some waves were just naturally meant for you and some for others.

The majestic ocean of life is the Almighty...
And we, at our best, are but skillful surfers of it.

Learning to surf seemed for me to be easy at first...
But it soon got very painful!

For you see...
The board is not made of sea foam!

The object is to ride the nose of the board...
As far out there as you can get!

I got thrown all over the place on my second weekend surfing...
And damn was the board rash a b-tch!

But I'm hooked now...
And for the rest of my life...

Just like the net...
I'll be surfing it!
