Gosh, stew? -- Left-over pond clam.
(+):
Each animal is represented by a different letter
(helps those who can't remember exactly which animals are used)
Only six words to remember, not twelve
(-):
Some names are odd and obscure (lepus? 'worm'? apologies...)
Mnemonic is not a grammatical sentence
Some may not like even a euphemistic oath ("gosh" = "God")
Perhaps a better set of words on this model could be chosen.
