Traditional rhyme variant for National Poetry Month

[dragonyphoenix]

Since I started on poems I first heard from family... My Grandpa once recited this variant of a traditional English mnemonic rhyme:

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
All the rest have thirty-one,
Except Phoenix, she has ninety.

I'm still not sure what that last bit is supposed to mean but I figured it wasn't a compliment.

Maybe it was ninety days until your birthday? I got nothing. ^_^ Cute poem, though.

Good try but birthday's in March and this was summer. Think it's going to be one of those eternal mysteries.
