“Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November
All the rest have thirty-one……..”
A childhood rhyme for learning the days in the months of the year. Now, decades later, I still recite that phrase as I did tonight. It’s really a pretty little phrase with it’s old English ‘hath’; a word now obsolete, unless one wants to sound rather old fashioned, or unless one has difficulty remembering how many days are in March!
“I left the fairy tales lying on the floor of the nursery,
and I have not found any books so sensible since.”
~ G.K.Chesterton
