One hour lost in Spring,
in autumn found again!
and every year it take us six
hours more
to circuit our sun
than our calendars say,
so,
in order to fix
the progressing problem,
in one year in four
we have an extra day
– in February!

Very nicely explained Rhiannon - I can't wait for the clocks to change!

Not long! My mother could never change her digital watch and kept it until we came up, and sometimes it stayed right through. I tend to forget how to do my watch from year to year! Rhiannon

A concise, poetical explanation for leap years. There's something magical about a 29th February isn't there? Nicely done, Rhiannon.
