A poem was recently read on "Prarie Home Companion" that dealt with someone going down a road and coming by a field. The person bent down the barbed wire to go into the field where there were two shy horses. One finally approached and nuzzled his hand "as soft as the skin above the writst on a woman's arm". Does anyone know the title and/or author of this poem?
