Our throwback for this week is a poem from Donnafred Hoff, the wife of Dr. Wilbur Hoff, who you might remember from the "Mid-century Mazon Creek" in Mazon Monday #104. This poem, entitled "Rebellious Bones", was published in the June 1957 edition of the newsletter.
Rebellious Bones
While contemplating ancient ferns and corals
And bones of men and apes, their loves and morals,I can't approve the obvious conclusion.
Though death is fact and life is brief illusion,My skeleton shall not lie idly docile;
It shall become Earth's most unwilling fossil.-- Donnafred Baker Hoff --
