Mnemonics to remember - what are yours?

Jeff, you just reminded me of something:

"When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking, and it says its own name."

Deliver me from Catholic school.

southendmd:
A lot of mnemonics are tunes.

Here's a bizarre one from French class:

This is to remember the verbs that take "etre" in the passe compose:

((To the tune of "Yankee Doodle", if you can believe it))

"aller, partir, sortir, venir,
devenir, retourner,
arriver, rester, entrer, monter,
tomber, naitre, mourir."

My French teacher was an actual Frenchman, not a nun.

That reminds me of something, though it isn't exactly a mnemonic:

When the consonant is double, the preceding vowel is short. When the consonant is single, the preceding vowel is long.

I'll bake cookies for anyone who can figure out what this one is for:

Come over some day; maybe play poker. Three jacks cover two queens.

southendmd:
Mel,

That would be the geologic time periods.

I like chocolate chip.
