Escape Artiste
World-famed Escape Artiste the Great Studini
Is in town for a new season.
Watch the Great Studini with your heart in your mouth,
As he stumbles along the high wire
Far above the crowds of angry women voters.
Watch the Great Studini face off a fearsome Cabinet Manual
Armed only with a chair and a whip.
Watch the Great Studini wriggle his way
Out of a tightly bound media gag.
The people want more! Studini!
Studini! They howl and cheer.
It’s time for the comeback special.
The Great Studini climbs into a barrel,
Lights himself on fire,
And places both feet firmly in his mouth.
His barrel is rolled into the wild river rapids
And hurtles towards the Giant Waterfall
For the Great Studini’s biggest and best Escape yet.
But his feet are too firmly planted
In his big mouth.
Although the Great Studini waves and waves frantically,
And tries to pat out the spreading flames,
It is too late.
The burning barrel disappears over the waterfall.
The Great Studini is gone.
