And flamboyantly bowed to the throng

We want Hugo!
Hugo! Hugo!
The Human Cannonball

 
The aim was carefully calculated
The trajectory was precise

There is always room for improvement, Please send us your comments
The charge was carefully measured
And poured into the loading device

 
The fuse was trimmed, the lights were dimmed
Hugo slid down the barrel and then

All was ready and Hugo’s daddy
Counted down from

 
Ten!
And the drums rolled

 
Nine
And our blood ran cold

 
Eight!
The ambulance stood by

Seven!
Several woman cried

 
Six!
The spotlight hit the net

 
Five!
No one would ever forget

 
Four!
Eternity passed

Three!
Every heart beat fast

 
Two!
And Hugo’s daddy said, “Are you ready Hugo?”

 
One!
And from the bowels of the gun, “I’m a-ready, Papa!”

 
Boom!

Well, fire and smoke belched
Out of the cannon
And the earth trembled for a while

 
And the big gun roared
And Hugo soared
Through the air like a projectile.

 
Two hundred and fifty
Feet he flew
Like an Air Force fighter jet

 
But at the apex
Of his trajectory
He knew he’s gonna miss the net

--------------------
Oh! Arms flailing
He kept on sailing
A terrified screaming creature

 
And the crowd scattered
As Hugo splattered
All over the upper bleacher

 
In the aftermath
Of this tragic event
Disbelief filled every face

 
There was Hugo
And there was Hugo
There was Hugo all over the place!

--------------------
Well, the dust has
Finally settled and
The smoke has finally cleared

 
Hugo’s name
And Hugo’s fame
Will always be revered

 
But no one
Ever too his place
No matter who they were

 
Because they never found
Another man
Of Hugo’s – caliber
