enlightenment!

i know why alr!!
if 21 is twenty-one,
31 is thirty-one,
den 11 should be tenty-one.

but because if that's the case,
tenty-one will sound like twenty-one!
and to prevent articulating confusion,
11 is called eleven.

sorry, eleven.
if you feel left out of the league.
or even feel that you're less of a number
coz you're not called tenty-one.

but be assured dis day!
because of your sacrifice in name-sake,
the numerical system is made undisputed!
that mankind can be edified.

tribute to ELEVEN!
you're appreciated..
