There was an old man from Gansu,
Who thought he found a time capsule.
It was the site of a war bomb,
And setting it off made it his tomb.
That silly old man of Gansu.

This is dark and gritty and awesome. Totally turned the idea of a time capsule upside down. Instead of capturing the wonderful things about the past, it was literally a piece of history so dangerous it could kill! Wonderful work!
