Heh.. I like that one too. It's been credited to at least two sources, one
being Dr. Samuel Johnson, and I forget the other famous guy.
There's at least one other rendering, albeit a bit more extreme yet not too

I should be punish-ed
For every pun I shed.
Do not leave a puny shred
Of my punnish head.
