2023-09-21: Ogden Nash's missing watch

an Ogden Nash poem I couldn't find on the Internet - not Bing, not Google, not Quack

goes something like:

my shiny new watch 
goes tickety ticket
whenever?/after? I wind it
it sounds like a cricket
...
da da da da da
da da da da da da
...
'til shaken by baby
then pretty watch stops.

The poem was in a book in the bookcase when I was growing up.
