English mnemonics

:
Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and No Wonder;
All the rest have peanut butter,
Except for Grandma, 'cos she rides a bicycle.
I didn't have a lot of trouble remembering colors of the rainbow, but the one thing I had trouble with was remembering the orders that Linneas made for the Animal Kingdom, but the mnemonics helped me.

King Phillip Coughs Out Freaky Green Stuff
Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species.

I should add this variatin, huh? It's not mine, exactly, but I would think mine is just as valid as "King Phillip Chocked On Four Gob Stoppers."
