I am the very Model of the Modern Major General - BY GILBERT AND SULLIVAN

I am the very model of the modern major general. 
I've information vegetable animal and mineral. 
I know the king 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 am teeming with a lot of 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 the modern major general. 


I liked this poem because it is unique, and it brings back memories of my childhood (I learned this poem as a child).
