Answer 1

There are a few versions. The one I learned is below but there is a link to the history and other versions too.

Thirty days hath November,
April, June, and September:
Of twenty-eight is but one,
And all the remnant thirty-one.

Answer 2

There are many ways, but this is how I was taught:

30 days hath September, April, June, and November
All the rest have 31
Except For February (Watch for the leap year)

Hope this helps

:)

Answer 3

30 days have september, april june and november. All the rest have thirty one.. except february (28 or 29 in a leap year) but i don't remember how that part of the rhyme goes.

Answer 4

Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November, all the rest have thirty-one. Feburary has twenty-eight, but leap year coming one in four Feburary then has one day more.

Answer 5

Well, I don't know really about a rhyme per say, but how I was taught was counting your knuckles. Start on top of your first knuckle with Jan. the in between your first and second is Feb. In between the knuckles is thirty days, and on top is thirty one.

Answer 6

30 days has sept, april june and nov
when short february's done
all the rest have 31
