Three wooden strips inscribed in ink
Two thousand and seventy-six
Orbits past predicted events
Celestial and otherwise
For the forthcoming rotation
Somewhere in the Tarim Basin,
Wild West, in those days, of the Han.
Without being able to read
What that oasis almanac
Forecast, I'd be willing to bet
A few predictions proved correct.
Mind, they were found in a midden.
