ode to Lucky Orange or El Oh 3

Lucky Orange’s nickname was El Oh 3. He was so lively and quick, a great steed for me. We would travel all day, and he never got tired. He was a Gemini, so energetic and high-wired. El Oh 3 and I would gallop all over the place. I am sure we could have run the Kentucky Derby Race. His bright orange color disqualified him every time. This was said by the head official, a man of slime. I knew they were fearful we would win the whole thing. El Oh 3 was my favorite horse, a giant, a king. He went to heaven at the amazing age of twenty-one Memories of him and me help me feel our fun.
