Happiness is mnemonic calendar verse which actually rhymes

30 days hath September
April, June, and November.
31 the others date,
Excepting February 28.
But in a leap year we divine
February, 29.

or

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November.
When short February's done,
All the rest have 31.

or

    Thirty days hath September,
    April, June, and November;
    Thirty-one the others date,
    Excepting February, twenty-eight;
    But in leap year we assign
    February, twenty-nine.


Thirty days hath November,
April, June, and September.
Of 28 is but one
And all the remnant 30 and 1.
