/Dla wyjasniennia, poprzedni wiersz jest o Koperniku/
Another Pole that reached the pole
Of new discoveries making
Was Marie Curie, you know,
She was the other Pole.
Reaching for heights till then bare,
Though on a different scale,
First she discovered the element ‘polonium’
Following on with now known ‘radium’.
For those she got two Nobel Prizes
Never previously achieved by none.
Her daughter also later got one
As did her in-law son.
She made a gift of it to Poles,
Never forgetting her roots.
My uncle it was who saved the gift
By hiding it from Nazi boots.
His name was Dyzio Zuberbier,
Murdered in Katyn, you know.
He worked on cancer wanting to cure
People afflicted by stuff impure****
