from marathon to waterloo, in order catagoricalllllllll
|
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
|
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
|
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
|
I know the scientific names of beings 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 answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
|
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
|
In conics I can floor peculiarities parablous
|
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
|
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes,
|
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
|
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.
|
Then I can write a washing bill in Balylonic 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 tell at sight a chassepôt rifle from 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 know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
|
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
|
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee---
|
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 really managed to achieve first place once again for this thread!
|
Now this is just silly.
|
I liked Data's and Picard's version of that song. :D
