Mister Ron's Basement #1527 We have featured funny stories by Thomas L. Masson and will continue to do so in the future, as there are many good ones still available. However, this week, we have been reading some of his fun poetry, from the book 'In Merry Measure' published in 1904. Today we offer a pair of poems about wives and their husband's reactions to their actions -- 'His Wife' and 'His Limit.'
