- What a fabulous idea for a lens! I love these - there were quite a few I'd never heard before, and some with slightly different wording to the ones I grew up with. Very interesting and fun lens! Blessed. :)

- I learned many of the same ones you did!
When I home-schooled my daughter, I made up a "Planet Song" to the tune of "Old MacDonald":
Planets go around the sun,
E-I, E-I, O!
Learning them is so much fun,
E-I, E-I, O!
Mercury, Venus
Earth, Mars Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus
Neptune, Pluto
Planets go around the sun,
E-I, E-I, O!
Then each planet had a little verse of its own, simply stating a little fact about that planet.
I still find myself humming it when I'm trying to remember something about a planet and its relation to the other planets. :) Memories...

- Rhymes are great ways of remembering things. I have learned a few english ones since moving to Ireland and they help me even now as a grown up speaking something that isn't my native tongue. Great lens! :)
