Interpretation
Milne’s wry observation turns a common failing—disorganization—into an unexpected source of pleasure. If you don’t keep strict order, you repeatedly “rediscover” things you misplaced or forgot, and the mundane becomes momentarily novel. The humor depends on a gentle self-mockery: the speaker knows disorganization is inefficient, yet reframes it as a generator of surprise and small delights. More broadly, the line hints at a temperament that values spontaneity over control, suggesting that rigid systems can dull experience while a bit of chaos can make life feel freshly encountered—even if at the cost of time and frustration.
