Ode to Twenty One

Twenty-one is a great number.  I was born on the twenty-first day of the month.  My wife was born on the twenty-first day of the month.  If you add up the numerals of my wife's birth date they equal twenty-one.  We were married on the twelfth of June.  My brother was married on the twelfth of August.  Reverse the one and two, there you go.  Twenty-one is the age of legal beer and bourbon consumption, which in my book is a good thing.  Twenty-one is usually a good number when playing cards.  Twenty-one is a fun number to say, just rolls of the tongue.  Say it with me, "Twenty-one."  However, you should never drink twenty-one cups of coffee before noon.
