''The Hangman'' is a moderately long allegorical poem by Maurice Ogden, concerning an ordinary town to which comes the Hangman. He raises a scaffold, tells everyone that he is here to hang the one who "serves him most faithfully", before beginning to hang people, one by one, day by day, until only the narrator remains. In 1964, the poem was adapted into a short film by Les Goldman and Paul Julian, which can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRDq7aneXnk here.]]
