Some twenty thousand years ago,
A woman took a bone,
And carved in it a bunch of lines,
About which little’s known.
Some form a prime quadruplet,
Some multiply by two,
Some might be sort of based round ten,
But what good would that do?
Remember, these were cavemen,
In lateish Stone Age times.
What use would they have had for maths
Or calculating primes?
So what’s the actual answer?
We’ll never know, because
The carver’s long since dead, as is
The ape whose bone it was.
