3,336 Years of Connection

   My wife and I have scrubbed and searched
    every crumb of leaven unearthed 

   No one will come and check our work
    We’re on our honor, nothing lurks 

   No piece of candy in remote drawer
    that would spoil the result we’re aiming for

   For the leaven -- risen from the yeast in dough 
    represents arrogance: Ancient Egypt’s Pharaoh

   The ‘grand-cestor’ of today’s Hamas scorpios
    who will not let my People go
