It fits the rhythm, the cadence better. Makes it easier to remember and recite.

What is strange to me is while you're made to repeat the pledge every day as a child in school, the practice is not carried into adult life at all. We hear the national anthem at every sporting event (not that I go to sporting events), but I can't think of a single time I was expected to pledge allegiance as an adult.
