playing with words

who named the cuckoo clock
a timekeeper down the block?
who came up with the term lickety-split?
funny to say, so I repeat it quite a bit.

who invented the infamous pet rock?
maybe a writer who also penned a clock’s tick tock.
pedal pushers we used to call capris.
way back in the day, at the Tasty Freeze.
