John G. let the cat out of the bag, but thanks for the specific
reference. Here's why I thought it was Dorothy Parker:

Resume (forgive the lack of accents, I'm on a laptop)

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.

heh :). Similar use of line, even ending with the semicolon.
