you'll never see him more
for what he thought was H2O

Jimmy thought he was drinking water (H2O)

A bit like ..Richard Of York Goes Battling In Vain.
For the colours of the rainbow
Red,orange,yellow,green,blue ,indigo,violet.

Forgot to say, say this little rhyme out loud a few times and then over the next twenty years try to forget what the chemical symbol is for sulphuric acid.

Trust me you will never forget. In forty years I haven't.
