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!
|
|
|
