Mnemonic

Verses to help children remember the sequence of the last eight US presidents

Carter was a great vote catcher,

Reagan cuddled up to Thatcher,

Bush, G.H., was meek, not haughty,

Clinton, though, was rather naughty!

Bush G.W., went to war,

Obama championed the poor,

Trump was hired then fired as fast,

Biden won the crown at last.

From this mnemonic you can learn

To name each President in turn:

Can Rose Bake Cookies, Biscuits Or

Toast Bread? – A useful aid I’m sure.

The bold-typed letters hold the key:

The T from Toast prompts Trump, the B

From Bake prompts Biden, have a shot

And soon you’ll memorise the lot.
