"Hangman, Hangman I'm that man's wife. Can you help me out and save me from my strife?"

"Dear girl, Dear girl if you are his wife, solve my puzzles and you can save his life. I'll draw a little game for us to play. If you find the answer then him you'll save. All it takes is a guess or two. Then you'll decide what I'm to do. "

"Hangman, Hangman I'm a young girl's husband. Can you let me go and save her from mournin'?"

"Oh sir, oh sir you shan't die of shame. All you have to do is play my game. I'll draw a little game for us to play. If you find the answer then your life you'll save. All it will take is some guesses, just a few. Then I'll decide if it's none, one, or two."

So he took his chalk into his hand, and he drew up a game that was nothing grand. Then he stretched out his palm, and offered each. A chance for freedom, and the walls to be breached. They took their turns, but to their dismay. Two stick men hung on the wall that day. The couple were brought to a wooden perch, and the ropes hung down from the unstable birch.

The two joined each other in heaven that day, for your life is the price the Hangman wants you to pay.
