My Junior year of high school, my English teacher was going over some commonly misused words and got on the subject of "hanged" vs. "hung". She said "When a blanket is clipped to a clothesline to dry, it is hung. When I man is executed by noose, he is hanged. Men are hanged. Men are not hung." My classmate raised his hand and... well, Long story short, my classmate got detention.
*Hanged
The past tense of hang in almost all situations is hung. You hung a picture on the wall yesterday, or you hung out at the mall last week. Only use hanged when referring to someone who has been killed by hanging.

Harung

I'm hung like shopping mall Christmas lights on the 1st of June
covered in cobwebs, confusing the birds and one flick away from total darkness.
Dirty, partly broken, and yet still up somehow?
Inappropriate for the occasion but quite festive
Putting the ‘strange’ in ‘getting some strange.’
The odds are good when the goods are odd
Hung, witty, at the very least passing knowledge of history. Promising indeed
But they said a innocent woman and not an innocent woman, dealbreaker.
