Why indeed?
The last button on my shirt
Is a lazy lad:
He lies horizontal
And while I don’t think it bad
He doesn’t stand up straight and tall
Like his other kin
And to tell the truth, sometimes I have to
Wonder just what’s wrong with him.
His brothers do as they should
While he sleeps away the day
And I wonder that he can hold at all
Lying in that way.
But I confess, he does the job
As well as another other
I’ll have to look at all my shirts
To see if he has a brother.
So hold and sleep, my little one
While others are up there on the guard
They still have a ways to go but
You won’t go very far.

Love this. I have several shirts withe bottom BH in this orientation. I have no idea why.
Thanks, Ken. I put a link in the “Comments” section of the blog about why this is so. I thought the theories were interesting.
Take care, and have a great Easter!

Thanks for your comment, Ken. I was curious as to why they’re horizontal, so I looked it up. Here’s a link to a site with a couple of different ideas: https://www.quora.com/Why-on-most-mens-button-down-shirts-is-the-bottom-most-button-slit-horizontal-not-vertical-like-the-rest
