A MIDTERM

ELECTION ALLEGORY

The Turtle's name was Inky. He had a beautiful, hard multicolored shell.

His arms and legs were very sturdy. He had come a long way. When

Inky reached the beach, he was very puzzled.

There were no sea shells. There was nothing to remind him of where he

was. He stretched his long neck out and saw something behind a very

large dune. He thought, maybe it is a road. Maybe the road will take me

to waters I know. So he walked up to the road. There was a lot of noise.

Then he saw a small yard by the road. He went there to rest.

That evening, a group of people saw the Turtle. One picked it up.and said,

Lets make Turtle Soup for dinner. The second man said, I will bring pots

and pans. The third man said I will bring the table. The fourth man said

I will bring a red table cloth. The fifth man said I will bring gold knives

and forks and a pot filled with green leafs. The sixth man said lets cook

tomorrow. Then they all went to sleep. Some tried to turn Inky the Turtle

on its back and laughed.

There was a Spider on the wall who saw everything and whispered

to Inky, "Don't worry." I will build a very strong web to keep you safe.

The Spider, built a very strong web. The oysters, clams, and sand pipers

helped Inky the Turtle reach calm waters. When the mean people

got up in the morning they were surprised. Inky the Turtle was gone

and so was the soup.

And that is why I believe Joseph Biden, Jr. will get us through the next

four years, as long as each one of us give our President all the votes he

needs for the election process.

Wear your mask. Stay five feet apart.

And get your shots.

With apology to the many writers who

write of Inky and to remember the many

stories by HINKY, my father.
