Human Cannonball |
| Emmanuel Zucchini Senior |
| The Human Cannonball |
| Died in Sarasota Monday |
| Eighty-four was all |
| From Italy in Thirty-four |
| John Ringling brought him here |
| Broken neck in Fifty-one |
| Ended his career |
| But in those years in between |
| Seventeen in all |
| Few flew as fast or as far |
| As the Cannonball |
| Fifty-eight yards and one foot |
| Was the distance that he went |
| Fifty-four miles in an hour |
| The speed that he was sent |
| Two of his brothers and two daughters |
| Nine grandchildren in all |
| And the one great grandchild |
| Survive the Cannonball |
| He died on Monday where he lived |
| It happens to us all |
| Shot through the air expecting nets |
| A flight and then a fall |
