Not sure about the semicolon, I don't know how to use those outside of programming.

However, I think comma would have been acceptable seeing as you didn't use it elsewhere.

A comma splice is the use of a comma to join two independent clauses where the clauses are not connected by a conjunction, semicolon, or period/full stop.

I had an English professor at dear ole K-State that would automatically flunk any paper with one of these hummers

Assuming your first clause is an intentional stylistic fragment, the semi-colon to connect two closely related independent clauses is used correctly.
