How come the only mnemonics I can remember from general biology are dirty?

Speaking of which, I just adapted a few old latin mnemonics for people not born in the 1800s:

Prepositions that take accusatives:

Ante, apud, ad, adversus,
circa, circum, citra, cis.
Contra, penes, pone, praeter,
post, per, prope, inter, propter,
secundum, ob, erga, infra
Iuxta, supra, extra, intra
Versus, ultra, trans, and then
add super, subter, sub, and in!
…if in motion

Prepositions that take ablatives:

A, ab, absque, coram, de,
Palam, clam, cum, ex, and e,
Sine, tenus, pro, prae, then
super, subter, sub, in!
…if not in motion
