The Hangman Prepared

The hangman was ready to chop  head to a thief,
An unbearable heat poured down from heaven
''How lucky you are '' - said the hangman  with  grieve,
" You are saying goodbye to your head and forever.
But, I have to crawl  back  under such red-hot sky."

Such a lottery this an unpredictable life!
