    in the dark this morning, i swore i sensed the click
    of your trusty mechanism snapping shut,
    and then i heard the tick
    of the 9300 waking up from just 3 days' repose.

    and in the instant of the slip
    i cursed and almost shouted,
    but what should have been a shattered watch-
    you simply didn't allow it.

    and so i feel forever glad
    that you do just what you do-
    protect me from clumsy, tired hands
    and keep the watch brand new.

    Well done, but I prefer a good limerick...

    My Omega has one great deployant.
    Without it I'd be most annoyant.
    The watch would then fall
    On the floor, Damn It All!
    And I'd be unhappy, not Joyant.

    whose owner read posts with annoyance.
    as he sank in the sea,
    he let out his last plea:
    "if i just had a sub, i'd be buoyant."

    There once was a man with a Speedy
    Who's deployant was strong and not weedy
    When he didn't latch it
    It was there to catch it
    So now he wants more cos he's greedy

    but but but....the nice lady in the service area of the Omega boutique told me deployment when I went out of my way to simply call it a clasp.

    True story.

    Know that I laughed aloud considering your reaction if I'd used "the wrong term"

    There once was a thread on a forum
    Who's responces lacked grace and decorum
    The cruder the post
    Will be liked the most
    But you've gotta be rude to not bore 'em

    There once was a squirrel who loved watches
    He scoured eBay for great catches
    He then hurt his wrist
    This made him quite pissed
    which caused him to sell them in batches.

    She said "Sir it's a clasp, not deployant.
    And smiled at me looking quite bouyant.
    Said I, back to she
    Ma'am I cannot agree
    But your co-ax are awfully flamboyant. :whistling:

    The latest fad is ceramic
    Can I wear it if i am a mechanic
    Are they tougher than the titanic
    Do I really have to panic
    Or am I just being too manic
    Might chill and smoke some botanic

    These limericks are very funny, but can one of you creative folks PLEASE use the word "Nantucket" in a watch limerick?? It would make my day.
