...
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I (1)____________________ equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm (2)______________ with a lot o' news
(Hmm, lot of news.... Got it!)
With many cheerful facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
I (3)________ the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (4)__________ of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty (5)__________ for paradox
I quote in (6)________________ all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels (7)________ Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I know the croaking chorus
From The (8)__________ of Aristophanes
Then I can hum a fugue
Of which I've heard the music's din afore
(Ooh, din afore, din afore... Got it!)
And whistle all the airs
From that infernal nonsense Pinafore
...
Then I can write a (9)______________ bill in (10)__________________ cuneiform
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (11)________ at (12)__________ a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When such (13)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I (14)________ precisely

When I know (15)________ of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a (16)____________________ of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee

In fact
When I (19)________ what is (20)__________ by "mamelon" and "ravelin"

For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down
To the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General!
