I Keep six honest serving-men: (They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Where and When And How and Why 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 till five. For I am busy then,
As well as 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 'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes--
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
