So, 'At the beach'? I'm sure you meant
that other phrase:
It's 'On The Beach' you should have sent;
in bygone days,
this was a tale of war and love,
a world destroyed by bombs above.
Those words still set the mind ablaze -
that other phrase.

When man is on destruction bent,
no sense outweighs
the urge that is within him pent;
it's like a craze.
A favourite author, Nevil Shute,
you penned this tale, you little beaut!
Within my mind the title stays -
that other phrase!
