The Great Horse

John Ellis 0948 (Biloxi,Ms)

Ode


There is a story i know about a horse who,s white as snow. His legs were strong and he wore a golden horseshoe. One day there came a race for him, who rode on his back a boy named Kim. The horse Kim knew would win the race because he kept an even pace. They were about half way around when Kim and horse fell to the ground. The crowd stood up and not a word was said because they knew that great horse was dead. So, to this day come September that great horse people remember.
