I got some of these ideas from a list about being an evil overlord. You can check it out here. Or, for additional lists (hero, innocent bystander, legions of terror, etc) here. First one has about 300 evil overlord notes, the second only 100. Spent social, english, and law classes writing it. Most productive day I've ever spent :)

I’ll be an evil overlord
It’ll be quite cool
But if I ever manage it
I’d have some simple rules

I won’t toss out one liners
‘Cause then I will be dead
If I kill the hero
I’ll remove his head

I’ll fill him full of ammo
Make sure he can’t come back
‘Cause if he’s really truly dead
He cannot come attack

If I must have legions
I’ll spare no expense
To get ones that I like
And with intelligence

My legions won’t chase pebbles
Or let the prisoners out
And if they get in trouble
For help they’ll know to shout

I’ll get new uniforms
No matter what the cost
Stormtroopers and Mongols
They all eventually lost

If rival overlords loose
Or my underlings fail
I’ll not hesitate a moment
But send them strait to jail

Evil cults and mutants
All shall have their places
But these ones shall have theirs
Where I don’t see their faces

I will wear bright colours
I’ll be nice and I’ll give
In case I am defeated
So that I might live

Any plot or password
A five year old sees through
I will reconsider
Before I choose to do

Advisors I will deal with
Sidekicks I will not
Any who try to usurp me
I’ll kill and leave to rot

I’ll not be sentimental
A rigged game I’ll not play
For then they might escape me
And that ruin my day

Sidekicks die just as quick
As the hero will
For if they have a grievance
It’s me they’ll want to kill

Shooting is not too good
Not last requests will I give
If I wait or gloat awhile
I don’t doubt they will live

My super weapon I will use
On people who deserve
I won’t just stand around
And keep it in reserve

If I’m on a platform
And the hero drops down flat
I will do the same thing
Instead of looking back

I’ll be an evil overlord
This I know is true
But once I am, I wonder
What am I to do?

Heh, that got me laughing. I'll be sure to keep it in mind when I take over the world. 2

2 I like it. To the person above no you won't because I will first.

Well, it looks like the ol' Evil Overlord instruction sheet is still doing its share of inspiration. I wrote a story on my website based on the very same document called "By the Book" and (*apologizes in advance for shameless self-promotion) everybody should check it out. But this bit of poetry is imaginative and well-organized, and it will generally make me sad when I am forced to crush you under the iron treads of my Legions of Evil on my way to eventual world domination. Because after all, the last thing a brilliantly twisted madman bent on conquering the world and enslaving all humanity needs is a brilliantly twisted madwoman going after the same thing. Honestly, if I knew the world dominating biz was going to be so crowded, I would have been like an English major or something. Ah, well. Capite Terram.

Not many visitors lately, huh? Guess what, I just dropped by! Great poem, a bit more interesting than most, and with a good rhythm.
