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 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 got 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!,
