Hello Gang,
 
JJ and I, (JJ is my wife ) , were trying to make up
some rhymes to help remember the queen marking code.
 
We came up with a few and thought that we would pass
them along. If you think of any other rhymes please
write to me or the group here.
 
This is what we came up with:
 
BLUE       WHITE  YELLOW  RED   GREEN
 
Blessings  when   you     remember  God
 
Bees       wax    yield   real      gain
 
Buttons    worn   year    round     glitter
 
Brides     want   young   rich      guys
 
 
Years ending in:
 
Blue            0 or 5
 
White           1 or 6
 
Yellow          2 or 7
 
Red             3 or 8
 
Green           4 or 9
 
Example 1998 ends in 8 so the color is red.
We know that a queen with red is 1998 and not
1993 because that would make her 5 years old.

                       cursed by youth for going to slow
Ernie Gregoire         and by the old for going to fast.
