Synopsis: Albrecht Detweiler twirls his villainous moustache in villanelle format.

My children, they shall rule all worlds
All of them, with growing cheer
Nature triumphs; nurture skirls

The pretty skies of stars like pearls
Are ours to rule, or so I hear
My children, they shall rule all worlds

Into my head I knowledge furl
From our path we shall not veer
Nature triumphs; nurture skirls

My plans nothing shall cause to burl
To outsiders I only jeer
My children, they shall rule all worlds

Want to stop me? Oh, you churls
Hear my name, be filled with fear
Nature triumphs; nurture skirls

As my masterplan uncurls
Mankind's future beckons near
My children, they shall rule all worlds
Nature triumphs; nurture skirls
