Didn't realise that there was anymore. The problem with this rhyme is that most of time it's wrong.

Use i before e except after c or when sounded like a as in neighbor or weigh; and except seize and seizure and also leisure, weird, height, and either, forfeit, and neither.

I think thats the whole sentence.
Another one i was taught was a way to remember how to spell the word necessary. It goes like this:
N ever
E at
C akes
E at
S almon
S andwiches
A nd
R emain
Y oung

Most of you seem more in need of a rhyme to help you spell "Neighbour"

One of the Charlie Brown Specials had the entire song on it. It's really good, but I'm sorry, I don't know it.
