A Word to Husbands

To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.

    Good advice relating to both sexes perhaps. Words of wisdom from a man who wasn't afraid to share his opinion with others.
    I like his 'short' ditty like poems.

    One thing I've always appreciated about Ogden Nash is his willingness to write short poems. He always knows just the right length, and all hold at least one nugget of wisdom. Good for husbands and wives.
