I am a member of the University of La Verne Chorale. This semester, we are putting on a production of The Pirates of Penzance, or, The Slave of Duty, by Sir W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan.

Guess who got the role of the Major-General?

Sounds a bit iffy to me - let's have some confirmation.
What sorts of information have you?

Congratulations,
do you have information vegetable, animal, and mineral
and know the kings of England, and quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical?

Are you very well acquainted to with matters mathematical?
Do you understand equations both the simple and quadratical?
About binomial theorem ar't teeming with a lot of news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse?

Congratulations!!!

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalculus.
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

"Oh, He is the very model of a modern Major-General!"

But can you...

answer hard acrostics, and have a pretty taste for paradox?

how about quoting in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus?

Or in conics can you floor peculiarities parabolous?

Cheers

Coemgen,

Without any quotes, congratulations!!!!

When will the performances be?
La Verne is not all that far from me!

It's one of my favorite shows,
and it might be fun,
to take a run
to come out and see you in the show.

Cheers,

Marshal Moroni

Congrats, Kevin.

On the other hand,

I am the very model of a cartoon individual
My animation's comical, unusual and whimsical
I'm quite adept at funny gags
Comedic theory I have read
From wicked puns, and stupid jokes
To anvils that drop on your head!

Sorry, I can't hear even a vague mention of the words major general without the Animaniacs parody going through my head. I'm off to sort through my music collection and see if I have that one.
