What's your story?

I wrote this story many years ago to help some young people learn the Major Arcana. Do you have a story or poem or something that you use to help with learning tarot?

John and Mary

This is the story of the Mary and John, the ill fated FOOLS.
Mary's parents - The MAGICIAN and the HIGH PRIESTESS
met John's parents the EMPRESS and the EMPEROR
for their meeting with the HEIROPHANT.
You see, the young LOVERS
stole a CHARIOT
for a quick trip to Las Vegas to find a JUSTICE of the peace.
Afterwards, they when to the HERMIT
casino to spin the WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
Using all her STRENGTH
Mary spun THE WHEEL, but fell and died.
John, without Mary, took his life as the HANGED MAN.
Once they both met DEATH
because of their lack of TEMPERANCE
in life the DEVIL
shows up but the two run up the TOWER
to get away - to the STARS
and the MOON
and the SUN
so they can have their final JUDGMENT
for their time here in THE WORLD.

It worked because if they could remember the first few cards the rest of the story just seems to fall into place.
