It is a question that has baffled me,
Baffled me for so many years.
Perhaps the philosophers had the answer,
But that answer escapes me.
It is part of my life,
I see it so many times.
Is it part of life’s great journey?
But a part that has no answer.
I may remain in ignorance forever,
But why does it happen,
That every time they are washed,
Short-sleeved shirts,
End up,
With their sleeves inside out?

Good write Gold heehee. And does your bread always fall and land buttered side down? Depends if you put any butter on it before it falls to the floor I suppose!
Every time, if it lands butter side up we are in a parallel Universe.
Super sketch and a great poem Andy. Actually I think the 2 Ronnies surpassed M and Wise in that their sketches never fail to make me laugh whilst M&W sketches tend to get a bit boring (except for the kitchen sketch of course which ranks alongside this one).
Thanks Michael, both the 2 Ronnies and M&W were funny, and certainly the kitchen sketch and the Andrew Preview ones are up there with Fork 'andles.
And did that bread have any marmalade on it, as well as butter?! heehee.
Great poem, great question, Goldie!
And you are in luck!!! I researched this phenomena for many years, actually wrote my doctoral thesis on it.
The real scientific reason is awfully complicated and would probably not be understood by most members here, so I am trying to keep it simple.
Two factors: A) The forward and backward motion of the washing machine, and B) The northern hemisphere, where water spirals clockwise. There are numerous other factors that influence this phenomena, such as the atomic weight of the shirt, the manufacturer of the soap and much much more.
I do hope I was clear enough to give you an answer to your question.
Sincerely, Dr. Fred
Dear Doctor,
Thank yo for your profound thesis I will have to test your theory by : A) Inventing a washing machine that only goes one way and B) moving to to the southern hemisphere. I will let you know the results in due course and in your dreams.

Baffled
This is natures way of getting back at us for the industrial revolution. This never happened before washing machines were invented.
It is with deep personal regret that i have not seen those swishing 'dollys' of yesteryear keeping our ladies nimble every washday.
Any volunteers?
So true, homo sapiens creating havoc once more.
Lol made me laugh
Laughing is always good for you.
