30 days has September
April, June and November all the rest have 31 except for old grandma who rides a bicycle.
How Dan learned the 30 days has September poem from his mother. I kind of enjoy it, it is quirky and offbeat even if Febuary got lost somewhere.

Another way of remembering is to make two fists, then hold your fists thumbs together with your knuckles pointing up. Going from either side each knuckle represents a month with 31 days and each depression between knuckles is a month with other than 31 days :)

my sister and i were talking yesterday and i asked her if september has 30 or 31 days and she did the days song and then she made fun of me because i could never learn/remember the song at all and whatnot.
at the same time, i also can't recall the 7 or 8 times table.
go me.

Just testing to see if comments actually publish without me having to approve them now!
Anyways I always use the rhyme to remember which month has how many days.
Though I don't use grandmother on a bicycle I use:
except for February which has 28 except on leap year when it has 29, which doesnt' really rhyme. Oh well.
And beans I use to know my times tables through the 20s, I need to rememorize them some day.
