It was not you, it was not me
It was that damned uncertainty
He got it right
Improbable Knight
Well before 1930
What’s not been seen
Cannot be
With any degree of accuracy

Black swans may honk
All they are wont
About my false ability

I take my measure
By this rule
My figurings are only fooled
By things that I do not include

They fill unquantifiable space
Until they hit you in the face
Impossible to calculate
At any reasonable rate

But here’s some odds that you should know
No matter how much you shall plea
It’s a racing certainty
That I’ll not touch your CDO, nor roll its Asset Backed CP
