Resume - Dorothy Parker


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.


- I think this is very clever. Parker is being very flippant sounding out all the reasons why sucide is 'just too much hassle' while also exposing an underlying pain within her which suggests her own several attempts at suicide.
