This does point out a slight problem with the mnemonic though, which is that every month mentioned has multiple other months that read the same way.
Thirty days have December, August, May, and September. All the rest have thirty-one, except for January, which has 26.
There's no way to correct from something wildly wrong like this to the correct rhyme (other than looking them up to check, which defeats the point of the exercise), because this rhymes and scans just as well. At the end of the day you're just memorizing the right months and numbers.
