These Devious Deviations

30 days Hath September

Posted by: Norven on: September 30, 2008

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November;
February has twenty eight alone
All the rest have thirty-one
Except in Leap Year, that’s the time
When February’s Days are twenty-nine

Well, I never really manage to memorize that poem as a child. For one excusable reason: I was sick! Yeah, but I did sent one of those “Please excuse me for being absent today” letters. This is just the first time I actually got a full copy of the poem. But the above context may not be the original.

Certainly, there have been many variations on this poem. But surely, the main reason this poem was created in the first place is for people to know which Month has the what number of days. There’s even a detailed analysis and history unraveling of this poem as well as a handful of variations from varying variety of people.

But obviously, the majority simply can’t care or give a damn about this poem anyway so it kinda leaves me clueless as to why I posted it here. There’s always a calendar somewhere. Nevertheless, the point of this post is to note that September’s 30 days has ended.

What’s so special about it? - Well, October 1 is a Holiday, which gives a day of relaxation away from the hustles of work. What’s more? There’s always something to look forward to by the end of each month(*cough* salary *cough*) which makes all the hustles of work worth it. And most all, the first “Ber” month has ended which makes us another month closer to Christmas.

Hope this post is helpful(You’ll never know if you might be asked for this poem as an assignment in an Embalming subject in school)
