Perry Zoll

 My thanks, friends of the County Scientific Association,
For this modest boulder,
And its little tablet of bronze.

Twice I tried to join your honored body,
And was rejected,
And when my little brochure
On the intelligence of plants
Began to attract attention
You almost voted me in.

After that I grew beyond the need of you
And your recognition.

Yet I do not reject your memorial stone,
Seeing that I should, in so doing,
Deprive you of honor to yourselves.
