there is a poem in which the poet talks about different ways to commit suicide. all i know for sure is the lines "nooses give" and the last line, ' you might as well live'. any help with the tile and/or author would be terrific.

Dorothy Parker . ResumeRazors 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.
