One 🍌 Binanar is 1
Two 🍌🍌 Binanars is 10
Three 🍌🍌🍌 Binanars is 11
Four 🍌🍌🍌🍌 Binanars is 100
and so on.

10 out of 10 is more than 100 percent,
100 percent in an exam being a fail / ungraded / retake required.

10 🍾🍾 green bottles
would be a very short song,
but it would be much easier
to clear up the broken glass.

Trinary, with all its finery,
could never really compete
with the suave, but never effete,

Now, If only I could write some words to go with the title and the picture I have…
But, sometimes, words are difficult to find,
escape my mind,
and are not readily available for use.

and let it talk about the bees and the birds.
Postman: I have a parcel for 1,000 Binary Lane – I’ve never delivered there before.

Postman: Fourth?!
Postmaster: Well, it is Binary Lane.
“Here you are, Mr. Binary, your room, Room 5.”
Mr. B: Oh, no! I distinctly asked not to be allocated this room number, it’s even unluckier than room one-one-o-one!
“Our room numbers don’t go up that far, Mr. Binary. We only have 20 rooms.
SD Mr. B considers this.
Mr. B: And, are you sure that nineteen pounds eighty four is the correct amount per night? Have I got that right?
Oh! one should not,
if one can, do nothing;
with zero tolerance,
willy-nilly,
and wonder why the consequences
have no relative value.

One hundred and one,
one hundred and eleven
one hundred and one.
.
10001
That’s the syllables;
which means ten thousand and one
in raw binary.
