What rhymes with eleven?

            Heaven?*

Seven?**  Andre Previn?***

            Chevin?****

That’s not a lot, I fear.

            Don’t jeer,

since I will volunteer

my wish that eleven

brings good stuff as I pen

            these words: Happy New Year!

A couple of notes:

*Heaven – a place you hope you’ll end up if you were good.

**Andre Previn – famous composer, pianist and conductor, married a bunch of times to different women, including Mia Farrow.

 ***Seven – a number after six but before 8, unless you count in Base 6, in which case, the number is – yep, you guessed it, eleven!  Is that cool or what?

****Chevin – a sans-serif font as well as a Star Wars creature.
