1 " 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 smallShe 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 eyesOne million Hows, Two million Wheres, And seven million Whys! "
