Poetic Murder

The Gibbs equations are of prime importance when it comes to problem solving in any thermal oriented subject. The two equations are 'similar' and give the same information.
GIBBS1: dh=Tds-vdp
GIBBS 2:du=Tds-pdv
But the conditions to apply GIBBS1 and GIBBS2 are different. I always get confused as to which equation is to be applied...so I decided to make a this poem ---

ROSES ARE RED
VIOLETS ARE BLUE
Open systems use 'h'
Closed systems use 'u'
