Six honest serving men
-Rudyard Kipling

I keep six honest serving men.
They taught me all I knew.
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.

I send them over land and sea,
I send them East and West,
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine to five,
For I am busy then,
As well at breakfast, lunch and tea,
For they are hungry men.

But different folk have different views,
I know a person small,
She keeps ten million serving men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends them abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes:
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
