1, 2, 3 Little Piggies Make 5.

1, 2, 3 Little Piggies Make 5.

To remember which order Lexington, Park, and Madison are in, just remember the pigs. Sure, the saying doesn’t make much sense, but still, you’ll remember it. Then once you say it a few times, you won’t be able to get it out of your head for a while.
