Bruce, thanks for that link! Great stuff. There's brief mention of Dorothy Parker on that thread, but I think no one has yet quoted this well-loved eight-liner:
Résumé
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.
Perhaps it's self-evident, but if you want to do Light it's probably best to go Short.
