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

I am pretty sure that the original version reads “…love in it’s loving cup”
As far as I have been able to ascertain the original does read “love in the loving cup”. That’s subtly different to “its loving cup”, but wouldn’t really change the meaning of the poem.
This poem is Funny!
