Annual reminder of how many days there are in each month

Selected poems

Mnemonic

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November.
Unless a leap year is its fate,
February hath twenty-eight.
All the rest hath three days more,
excepting January,
which hath six thousand,
one hundred and eighty-four.

Soon it would soon be January again.

She simply did not know
where the year had gone.

Eventually she found it
hidden away
in a shoebox,
under the bed,
along with 1997
and 2005.

He had taken the best years of her life.
