My other favorite whimsical mnemonic is Richardson's:

> Big whirls have little whirls,
> That feed on their velocity;
> And little whirls have lesser whirls,
> And so on to viscosity.

a play on De Morgan's rhyme:

> Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
> And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.

itself apparently a paraphrasing of Swift.
