who

    Houdini

    didn't escape

    death

    at a youngish 52

    ran out of breath

    life was full

    of clever tricks

    till he got sick

    mortality

    a straitjacket

    he couldn't escape

    after making a packet
   
he was deflated

    by unanticipated

    abrupt

    ruptured appendix

    in a sad finale

    destined to meet

    final defeat

This entire large website has been a real labour of love by Yours Truly. I don't get paid & have to cover all running costs out of my own small pocket. Am in the proverbial starving (at least slightly peckish) artist in a garret situation. Give what you can. Thanks. Happy to gratefully name check any contributor, unless you prefer to be an anonymous donor.
