The Number Elf
In sport
The Dutch, and Germans
Have a hidden tradition
That if a team
Has more than ten players
Then the eleventh player
Is always an Elf
In England
They simply made an anagram
Out of Elvene
In Ireland, however
Their number eleven
Is always a Pixie!

Nice! One of my absolute favorite numbers. I always did imagining 11 to be possessed of a good personality...
