I love me some Gilbert and Sullivan! How about this one?

I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General

"I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,"

People don't change much over time, do they?

Gee,
I never thought I'd find a Gilbert & Sullivan thread on this forum! Glad I did though! How refreshing.

And then we have this limerick...or not...attributed to W.S. Gilbert:

There was a man of St. Bees
Who was stung on the arm by a wasp
When asked "Does it hurt?"
He replied "no it doesn't"
But I'm so glad it wasn't a hornet

I'm partial to THIS one:

We saw The Pirates of Penzance at the Savoy theater while we were staying at The Savoy. It was fantastic!

How about one more from G&S, still admired a century after their heyday:
