I am the very (1)__________ 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 understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About binomial theorem I'm teeming 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 (2)________________________ calculus
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral

I (6)________ the croaking chorus
From The Frogs 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 washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
And tell you (7)__________ (8)____________ of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (9)__________ of a modern Major-General

In fact
When I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at (10)__________ a (11)____________ rifle (12)________ a javelin
When (13)________ (14)______________ as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, (15)________ I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a (16)____________ Major-General has (17)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
