Extra Day

Extra day of the calendar Breaks during the leap year; Three hundred sixty-five dawns Let additional morn appear. A man or a person born On the twenty-ninth of February Is called a leaper or a leapling Whose birthday is intercalary. When non-leap years come, Some leaplings do celebrate On either the first of March Or February twenty-eighth. February twenty-ninth is a date That occurs in four-year pace; For the Earth does not orbit in precisely Three hundred sixty-five days. In the year two thousand twenty, Whether the sky is blue or gray; And if the world will still exist, There'll be another extra day.
