Resume
Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp:
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
De Profundis
Oh, is it, then, Utopian
To hope that I may meet a man
Who'll not relate, in accents suave,
The tales of girls he used to have?
Resume is one of my FAVORITE POEMS. I LOOOVE Dorothy Parker. Have you read The Waltz? Hilarious.
