Beatus Natalis Decimo ---- or ---- So –You’re Gonna be ---- XIV Today you’re fourteen; we’ll see what that will bring….. Cause if you’re a  14 in Rugby you must play Right Wing. And if you are a surfer who’s sleeping on the beach You’d see the  moon waxing and waning  – 14 days each If you were a shape with a XIV-line poem emblazoned on it, You’d be a  Cub-octa-hedron, with a sonnet upon it. Well, goodness gracious and sakes alive, You’re now  two four, if you count in base 5 Whilst Feb 14^th is every sweetheart’s hero, Regard your age in  tetradecimal is exactly One Zero Since we’re talking your age, let’s be even more bold Cause, whoops!  Surprise!  --  In hexadecimal you’re “E” years old To keep up your calendar and get it just right Remember there are  14 evenings in one fortnight. So, being  two two, base 6  isn’t so simple these days, Since you can be  one one one zero,  base two, in so many ways.
