It's National Calendar Poem Day

"30 days hath September..."

Happy National Calendar Poem Day! Maybe even international. I don't know if other countries have that poem. But poetry being universal -- maybe -- it seems like they'd have it.

Anyway, it's the opening line to the most useful poem I know, the one I use to keep track of how many days are in each month.

It's just too bad about February being at the end to scruff it up, rag it out, and make it uneven. But that's what you get with loopholes.

It's too late, though, to get rid of February, since everyone who has a birthday or anniversary then would be up in arms and would riot.

September. We're at the very end of this sexy month. But the end is a very good place to be in this particular case, because of the poem.
