Well, to feed the growing muse in you, here is more wisdom
from Kipling, especially for SI readers:

"I have six honest serving men
who taught me all I knew.
Their names are What and Why and When
and How and Where and Who.

"I send them abroad on land and sea,
I send them east and west.
And when they've done their work for me,
I give them all a rest."


There are two more stanzas which are a little anti-climactic,
but this verse appeared in "Just So Stories" which are
(so-called) children's stories:

"But different folks have different views.
I know a person, small,
who has ten million serving men
that get no rest at all.

"She sends them abroad on her own affairs
from the second she opens her eyes:
One million Hows, two million Whens,
And seven million Whys."


Sounds like my kids to me!
