5424 - Tennis the menace

Last full day at my mum’s, it’s Wimbledon 
On the Telly, there’s nothing else to watch 
I’m trying to read this evening, moving on
Through a peculiar novel in a batch 
Of three by Nevil Shute, not On The Beach -
That’s the third one - no, it’s called No Highway
And then, A Town Like Alice within reach 
Which makes me want to read on and then say 
I finished it, though it was hard. But hey - 
It’s different, undoubtedly old-fashioned 
The characters and plot a little strange 
It’s about aeroplane safety and they 
Are all shy, realistic, normal. Fun
In short supply, but I must still finish!
