space science and a little silliness {closed}

so i was reading some online news and look what i found! you've got to read this its about pluto. so my question is. what happens to the rhyme that kids use to memorize the order? i mean hello! My Very Ecellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas... just doesn't have the same ring without the pizzas does it? oh well. so i have a proposition . no no silly no tthat kind of proposition. dave would get mad! or at least i hope he would... anyhoo. come up with your own rhyme to help kids memorize the order. the sillier the better, and the winner will get something fabulous from my stash. wow. i've never had a contest before this is kinda fun! i guess i have to figure out a way to pick the winner. hmm. ok all entries that include the beginning letter of all the currently accepted planets and usues them in order will go into a hat. not the actual people who enter. thats a big hat. but all their entries :) and a random draw shall decide ok? enter as many times as you like. and have fun. the contest closes on september 1!

edit:
the contest is closed winner to be announced tomorrow ( saturday )

I'm kind of sad about Pluto, but I'm not sure why.

These things just come to me. Go ahead, ask me the one I made up for the 12 cranial nerves (which I no longer can name, but do still know my rhyme) Oh, and it's pretty dirty - so not to be repeated to minors.
