Take the world by storm,
By tempest or by flood,
Commence your reign and swiftly gain
On those left in the mud.
Take the world by blizzard,
By snowstorm or by frost,
Kiss the dice and brave thin ice,
Surpass them at all cost.
Take the world by whirlwind,
By fervor or by force,
But be aware that without care
You’ll blow yourself off course.
