Thirty Days Hath September
Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November; February has twenty-eight alone, All the rest have thirty-one, Excepting leap-year, that's the time When February's days are twenty-nine. This rhyme is a memory prompt for remembering which months have 30 days and which have 31. A favorite joke of 8 year-olds throughout the country is to ask "Which month has 28 days?" The correct answer, of course, is "All of them", but children find it endlessly amusing that their elders will usually answer "February". |
