Use your knuckles, with both hands next to each other, from left to right Jan - Dec. Each 'hump' has 31 days.

- philbarr 13y agoYes, this is the way I remember. My wife quotes the rhyme and I annoy her by pointing out the following issues: 1 - 3 lines of the rhyme at the end are utterly pointless as it's much easier to just remember that leap years are actually a thing. 2 - The fact that it rhymes doesn't help you remember which months you're talking about. It could quite easily be, "30 days hath September; October, November, December" and it would still rhyme but be wrong.
