For years my being a watch nut -
when the great astronaut came to visit -
I asked him
about
the Omega space watch.
The story he told
was quite simple.
Near launch
someone
felt the astronauts
should have a watch.
So, someone
went down to the base exchange
which just happened to have
three Omegas in stock.
Voila!
With a dash of Madison Avenue
for leaven
THE MOON WATCH
was born.

Interesting
the Russians figured out
a pencil could work just fine.
On
THE MOON WATCH
I only know
central inventory
was never able
to fill my order.
