I remember learning "Every Good Boy Does Fine" but I know a lot of folks learned "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" - either way, it works as a good way to learn the lines of the treble clef: EGBDF . Doesn't this book sounds interesting? Read the reviews. One reader said it best when he said "this is a keeper"!
It would be a fun idea to start writing down the ones you remember in a notebook to pass on to your children or grandchildren.

Roy G. Biv - colors in the rainbow
Acronym for learning the colors in the rainbow - make learning fun!
Roy G. Biv is an easy way to learn the colors in the rainbow:
R is for Red
O is for Orange
Y is for Yellow
G is for Green
B is for Blue
I is for Indigo
V is for Violet
Is this the way you learned the colors of the rainbow? I sure did and still use it. It is so funny how all these little rhymes come back to you many years later, isn't it? This is a little different from the song "I Can Sing A Rainbow" but this correct.
Learning how many days are in each month
Does the month have 30, 31 or 29? I still recite this one a lot. Do you?
Here is an easy way to remember:
30 Days has September
April, June and November
All the rest have 31
Except for February
It stands Alone
I guess this one of my most used rhymes because I never can remember how many days certain months have. I know I have learned to depend on this little rhyme but I think that is kinda neat. I catch myself reciting it and get tickled thinking about it.

Name The Planets
Can you name them in order from the sun out?
For many years the following was used by school children to learn the planets but in 2006 this had to change:
My Very Earnest Mother Just Served Us Nine Pickles
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
In 2006 Pluto lost his Planethood Status so the following became the new mnemonic:
My Very Ernest Mother Just Served Us Noodles
Don't forget that every 248 years, Neptune will be the furthest planet for 20 years.
