30 days in september april june and november! all the rest have 31 one, etc.

 

[mercanucaribe]

30 days have september, april, june, and november. There's no reason to remember the rest because it's pretty damn obvious that february has 28 and all the others have 31.

How is that a poem? Its just a statement saying which months have 30 days.

:thumbsdown:

It's not a poem it's mnemonic device.

30 days has September,
April, June, and november,
All the rest have 31,
Except February which has 28,
And also sometimes 29,
When the planets do align,
The year leaps forward,
Then the days leap back,
Keep this memorized,
And you'll have the knack.

clench a fist and count your first knuckles and the spaces between them, doubling up on the pinky knuckle (for July and August) and come back...the months that are on your knuckles (January, March, May, July, August, October, December) have 31, the rest except for February have 30.

January - pointer knuckle - 31
February - space between pointer and middle knuckles - 28
March - middle knuckle - 31
April - space between middle and ring knuckles - 30
May - ring knuckle - 31
June - space between ring and pinky knuckles - 30
July - pinky knuckle - 31
August - pinky knuckle - 31
September - space between ring and pinky knuckles - 30
October - ring knuckle - 31
November - space between middle and ring knuckles - 30
December - middle knuckle - 31

Or just put your two hands together, and not have to double up on anything.

the knuckle method is super easy. even if you remember the odd for 1-7, even for 8-12 rule, the kncule method is still a good reminder

30 days hath september, april, june, and november.
Punch a billy goat, then yank his member
Every Good Boy Does Fine
Righty Tighty, Left Loosey
My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos
All People Seem To Need Data Processing
Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Virgins Go Without
One idle damn Sunday, Dad killed cheating thief and lied to cover it.

I'm gonna go with "What is holding two fists up makes you look like a tard?" Alex.

Just use your knuckles. It's the easiest way.

 

[dullard]

Bah, all these long poems, lines, hand techniques, etc. will just confuse people. Why all the work? Major Christian holiday typically in the month = 31 days. Thats all you need to know. Well you have to know things like Christmas is in December, but if you can't remember things like that, then you have bigger problems.

And holding out one fist and counting it's knuckles, or reciting a poem isn't retarded enough?

 

[JulesMaximus]

Not a poem but, starting with January (which has 31 days) every other month has 30 days with the exception of February and July/August both having 31 days.
