Summary "Horse Sense in Verses Tense" by Walt Mason is a collection of humorous and satirical poetry written in the early 20th century. The poems encapsulate various themes revolving around human nature, societal norms, and the small foibles of daily life. Through cleverly crafted verses, Mason captures the essence of everyday characters and situations, reflecting on morals, ironies, and the essence of true happiness. The opening of this work introduces a variety of poems that criticize and celebrate different aspects of life and human behavior. For example, "The Clucking Hen" uses the metaphor of a hen scratching for food to illustrate the futility of some human endeavors, while "The Milkman" depicts the hard life of a milkman laboring diligently amidst the indifference of customers. Each poem presents a unique perspective on the joys and struggles of life, hinting at deeper truths often overlooked. The overall tone is light-hearted yet thought-provoking, sure to engage readers who appreciate humor interwoven with keen observations of human nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
