Solar System Mnemonic Needs To Be Changed

I didn't use a mnemonic to memorize them, so am not troubled by this, but CB has two great suggestions.
I did use mnemonics to learn the notes on the treble and bass staffs, though. Thankfully no one is going to vote any of them off, so if I still needed them, I'd be safe (but don't).

My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas
and the much more accurate (at the time)
My very educated mother just showed us nine planets
I was always confused as to why her level of education had anything to do with her serving of pizza.


I agree with you 100 percent!!!!!
My very educated mother just served us nine pickles.
Since Pluto is no longer regarded as a planet, she needs to have served us something other than pickles.
There have been some dwarf planet discoveries since Pluto was removed from the planetary roster.
So I would like to add Eris, Goblin and Farout to the mnemonic which might now read as:
My very educated mother just served us nine excellent gefilte fish.
Any other proposals?
