six honest serving-men...
... do you like
Kipling?
I don't know I've never
Kippled
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 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!
- Rudyard Kipling
