Empty blocks

Many months in advance, they are swiftly prepared,
plotted and laid out and put up for sale,
though the year hasn't ended, and days still remain,
next year's calender always arrives without fail.
Each week is set forth with its days all arranged
And the hundreds of blocks are so open and white,
already determined on what dates they'll fall -
just waiting for planners to ponder and write.
Yet the glossiest print-out of days still to come
Is no sure guarantee life will last til they're done.

A prelude to Asimov's famous and beloved "Foundation" series, this story is a great read!
