  Hell was in a gesture.  An invasive body posture.  Arrayèd was displayèd.  

  °Midwifery, deliver me°  

  Michal had decidèd to squat for the delivery of the twins.  Her midwife was up front and Simeon was kneading her lower back and hips to relieve the tension.  

  She was a very good pregnant situation, Michal.  

  She never complainèd.  

  All Simeon had to do was repeat part of his Bar-Mitzvah mantra which Michal considerèd to be chutzpah.  

  Michal was also supportèd by a sort of chair, like the loo.  It was a special design to make the passage of birth easier.  

  “Every woman should feel affronted by the conventional way of giving birth,” said the midwife.  “It's so invasive, what with all the exposure and the unnatural position.  This new invention makes all the difference.”  

  Necessity really is the mother of invention and the invention spared the mother a lot of unnecessary contortion.
