I keep six honest serving-men <br />(They taught me all I knew); <br />Their names are What and Why and When <br />And How and Where and Who. <br />I send them over land and sea, <br />I send them east and west; <br />But after they have worked for me, <br />I give them all a rest. <br /> <br />I let them rest from nine till five, <br />For I am busy then, <br />As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea, <br />For they are hungry men. <br />But different folk have different views; <br />I know a person small <br />She keeps ten million serving-men, <br />Who get no rest at all! <br />She sends em abroad on her own affairs, <br />From the second she opens her eyes <br />One million Hows, Two million Wheres, <br />And seven million Whys!<br /><br />Rudyard Kipling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-keep-six-honest-serving-men/
