I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General
I do not own Teen Titans or this song. It was recommended, and I don't know who the original artist is. I also don't own "All I Wanna Do."
They said there was nothing to fear out there. They said there was nothing hiding in the shadows. They were wrong, there is something very scary out there. No, not Batman. Robin. Singing karaoke.
I am the very model 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---
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
Yes it seems Starfire was able to convince everyone to go to a karaoke bar, unknowing the horror she would unleash.
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.
It was Robin's turn and so far he had destroyed thirteen mirrors, deafened seven black cats, and made Beast Boy break down crying on Raven's shoulder.
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.
Starfire due to all the Tamaranean folk songs she knew, was of course immune to Robins horrible singing voice and was enjoying this very much.
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.
Your probably wondering why Cyborg hasn't been mentioned yet. While he had come with the other Titans, he hasn't been seen since singing "All I Wanna Do" to Bumble Bee. Lucky him.
In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a chassepĂ´t 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---
And yet the remaining Titans dread is rising. Why is this you may ask.
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 am the very model of a modern Major-General.
Starfire is up next.
Oh the horror. I'm thinking of continueing this, but will do so only if i get atleast ten reviews. Hoped you enjoyed it and please review.
