from The French Revolutionary Calendar

It would be fun to write a book of poems over a year based on the French Revolutionary Calendar...

The numbers didn't carry over when I cut and pasted but they are in numerical order for each month...

Days of the year

Instead of most days having an associated saint as in the Roman Catholic calendar of saints, each day has an animal (days ending in 5), a tool (days ending in 0) or else a plant or mineral (all other days).
