Oh To Be Hanged Or Hung
Let voted houses remain hung
And horse-trading go on unsung,
Let picture frames on walls get hung,
But men need never once be hung.
Call it an edict of a tongue,
Linguists' belief and devout faith,
Man should only be hanged till death.
Whilst garments in their wardrobe house
Upon their own hangers are hung,
All aircraft in hangars are housed;
If at all an innocent's hung,
Let that only be his portrait;
And no woman's fairly ‘well-hung’,
'Well-endowed', let me make it straight.
