Black Swan Economy by HeyDoofus
3rd place entry in H4H: Vowel-Restricted Poetry

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!

And Black Swan Theory for the title.
