I keep six honest serving-men

(They taught me all I knew);

And how and Where amd Who.

I sent them over land and sea,

I sent 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!
