"Last tap!" a barman calls, and attracts an armada.
Here, the resplendent reverend's decree ne'er
inhibits spirit-imbibing sins.
Tomorrow's vows swoon on wormwood floors.
Lustful drunks gulp mugfuls; Truth succumbs.
Styx's hymns fly wryly by.
Mmmmm mm mm mmmm...

A rascal's calm and charm
She sleeps entrenched, except when she stretches
Infinite idling is implicit bliss
Oh joy of comfort, oh cotton cocoon
Just brush up fur, fuzz unfurls
Sly, wry
Prrrrrrr

Ah, a sad day, alas, as Black a Swan as
Never seen. Lenders, emmets, seeking,
Circling, missing inwit,
Roo loot from fool or folk,
Turn fur subfusk, but
Gypsy-scry myths!
Tsk, tsk!


Translation
A sad day, totally unexpected,
Not seen before. Money-lenders like ants searching and
Running in circles without conscience
Pluck money from the unwise or the ordinary people
And change their fortunes to sombre garments, but
Tell fables of the future like gypsies.
Shame!

See World Wide Wordsfor meanings of most of the odd words used here.

And Black Swan Theory for the title.
