Day #40 - A word of the week idea

I have to thank Jola for her demand for a text about rhymes. It made me more interested in that subject and let me came up with an idea – I decided to prepare for you (and of course also for myself) a word of the week mnemonic.

Creating graphical mnemonics is nothing new for me, but this time I added rhymes and that made it … much better.

You can check it by yourself. Here you are - my first word of the week.
