Summary: MNEMONIC EXPLAINED: A fat goose. He got that way by eating too many sugar coated peas (from a distance the seedpods resemble tiny peas). Desiring to loose weight the goose goes to the freezer and pulls out all of the sugar coated peas (from a distance the seedpods’ resemble tiny [remember that they’re not regular size] peas [like peas the seedpods have no stem] that are frozen [stuck together in a cluster] with a mealy white [frosty/sugar coat] outer surface). Rather than throw the frozen peas in the trash the goose comes up with a way to loose weight and make money at the same time. He will go into the wine making business! Sugar when mixed with yeast, creates alcohol; so the goose then goes to the pantry, pulls out some yeast and adds it to the sugar coated peas that are already in the bath tub. The goose begins crushing the peas (and exercising) by stomping them, and the yeast, with his feet (leaves are shaped like goose feet, goosefoot shapes get more pronounced toward the bottom of the plant [goose feet are at/towards the bottom of the goose] the lobes or teeth of the leaves point toward the tip/top like goose feet toes do, the leaves have a clammy-feeling and have a waxy-coat/unwettable like goose feet, the leaves have a mealy white underside like goose feet after stomping the peas mixed with sugar and yeast, it's also easy to imagine the edges of the goose's feet being red and wavy [from all of that stomping] like the leaves can be). When the pea wine was ready, the goose designed a 1 to 5 star rating card and invited some of his goose friends over for a wine tasting. In the end his friends gave the wine a 5 star rating (when seedpods open, the flower is star-shaped)! The biggest complement came when his female goose friend noticed the weight lose. She said “you’re so skinny I can see your ribs” (the main stem of the plant is longitudinally ribbed). They fell in love, made love then she laid an egg. You take the egg for breakfast (the 5 sepals of the calyx, that eventually open from a seedpod into a star-shaped flower, is represented by the fingers of your hand. As a seedpod the sepals [your fingers] curl inward and wrap around seed [the goose egg], more or less obscuring it from view, except for a tiny opening at the top) but squeeze it so hard that it breaks in your hand leaving yellow yolk dripping from your fingers tips (the tip of each star [stamen anthers] is yellow).
