you form two fists and hold them side to side and BAAM thumb knuckles gone. nothing to remember. just hold your fists together and you're good to go. i like this method, very straight forward. but if you prefer to learn this poem thingy. sure, you do you buddy.

i'm not sure you understood what we meant. we are not counting fingers but i'm too lazy to explain it. just google "knuckle mnemonic". pretty straight forward once you saw an image.

why doesn't it make sense? you start with the pinky knuckle (january) till you reach the index knuckle (july), then there's no "dip" after that because that's the end of your hand, so you switch to your right hand and start there with the index knuckle. just try it out ;-)

edit: spelling
