...
I am the very model of a (1)____________ Major-General
I've (2)______________________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I know the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From (3)________________ 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 (4)________________ facts
About the square of the hypotenuse
...
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific names of (5)____________ animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General
...
I know our mythic history
King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
I (6)____________ hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I (7)________ 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 every (8)____________ of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in (9)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a (10)____________ Major-General

In fact
When I know (11)________ is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can (12)________ at sight a Mauser rifle (13)________ a javelin
When such affairs 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 (14)________ more of tactics (15)________ a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has (16)__________ sat a-gee
...
For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down
To the (17)__________________ of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

In fact
When I know (18)________ is (19)__________ by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (20)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely

When I have learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of (21)______________ than a novice in a nunnery
In short, (22)________ I've a smattering of elemental strategy
You'll say a better Major-General has never rode a horse!
