Do you have a poem like this in your language?

@Queendragonfly Can you tell us how it goes?

@DrWatson Januari börjar året,
februari kommer näst.
Mars, april har knopp i håret,
maj och juni blommar mest.
juli, augusti och september,
härlig sommar är det då.
men oktober och november och december,
är så grå.

@Mamapolo2016 Yes...I kinda left out a line! 😂

@DrWatson It took me 12 years to learn it!

@Mamapolo2016 In the early years of ancient Rome, the first part of the year had NO dates, since farmers were not planting then, and the calendar was originally about keeping track of the growing season.

Julius Caesar inserted three extra months in 45 BC, and in order to bring the calendar in synch with the seasons, that year had 445 days!

It was known, even back then, as "The Year of Confusion!"

@DrWatson The more things change...

@DrWatson kinda hard to translate literally but about February we basically say that "even if it's cold in February it will smell like summer", we have some sayings about March being an unstable month and month of the Lent, we also say "From March there's summer and from August there's winter" and other sayings that tie each month to crops and field work.

@HannibalAteMeOut We have a saying about March as well: March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.

Although I live far enough north that the lamb does not show up until April or May!

@DrWatson hahah tbh I live south enough that May to September is fully summer

@Piper I have come across several versions in English, so there is no one right way! :)

@LordShadowfire Absolutely peachy is September....
