Frederick Ogden Nash wrote 19 books of poetry, most of it humorous. One of his more well-known poems is "A Word to Husbands". It is short, as many of his are, and goes like this:
To keep your marriage brimming with love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it. Whenever you're right, shut up.
So this clerihew is dedicated to this most intelligent man.

Are diamonds bright, bold and brash.
