I am the very model of a modern Major-General

I know the kings of England
And I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in (1)__________ categorical
I'm very (2)________ acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the (3)____________ and quadratical
About (4)________________ 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 (5)________ at integral and differential calculus
I know the scientific (6)__________ of beings animalculous
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Major-General

I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
I (7)__________ in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
In conics I can floor (8)__________________________ parabolous
I can tell undoubted
Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
I know the (9)________________ chorus
From The (10)__________ 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 (11)______________ bill in (12)__________________ cuneiform
And tell you every detail of Caractacus's uniform
In short, in (13)______________ vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very (14)__________ of a modern Major-General

In fact
When I (15)________ what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
When (16)________ affairs as sorties
And surprises I'm more wary at
And when I know precisely
What is meant by "commissariat"
When I (17)________ learnt
What progress has been made in modern gunnery
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
In short, when I've a smattering of (18)__________________ strategy
(Oh, that's a hard one, strategy... Got it!)
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a-gee

For my military knowledge
Though I'm plucky and adventury
