How to remember the structures of purines and pyrimidines?

[Frigus]

I have drawn structure of purines and pyrimidines literally 14 times but still I am not able to recall the structures of these tiny monsters after few days of learning them.
Can you please tell me how you remembered these structures.
Thanks.
