Evidently a different school ;-)  There are plenty of versions around
- just try Google for a few.

The first two lines in the version we had were

 Caesar adsum iam forte
 Pompey aderat

> Caesar sic in omnibus
> Pompey sic intram.

Google found this version, for instance

 Caesar adsum iam forte, Brutus aderat; Caesar sic in omnibus, Brutus
 sic inat.

(Google also seems to connect it with that schoolboy hero, Nigel
Molesworth...  and a thread of Mornington Crescent...)

All the best
