  Michal and Simeon were finally unitèd on the sabbath.  After years of Avi keeping them apart on the high holy day they made it their own on their wedding day.  Years later they would come to joke about how Simeon had been chasèd away by Avi all those times.  

  Above board.  All those years later, many anniversaries after, Simeon and Michal were at home.  They were retiring after a Bar Mitzvah, another smashing event and lots of broken glasses.  Even someone's spectacles, accidentally.  

  Up in the bedroom, Simeon and Michal were reminiscing about that smashing time during their irreverent youth.  

  “Get down on your knees and make me your god,” jokèd Simeon, concerning his irreverent youth.  

  {pointing down to it}  

  “Both of us, down on both knees,” replièd Michal.  

  “Are you proposing? … ” wonderèd Simeon.  

  “ … we sweep up or crawl to bed?” counterèd Michal.  

  Oft-times Avi would carry a birch-end shag-pull sweeper.  

  “This brush is a total shag-pull,” said Avi.  

  {cursing-and-sweeping}  

  Avi swept Simeon and Michal's floor every sabbath.  Avi worshippèd the ground his daughter, now Naviah, walked upon.
