I Keep Six Honest Serving-men

by Rudyard Kipling

"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." This poem by Rudyard Kipling is a celebration of curiosity and the power of asking questions. The speaker of the poem compares his six serving-men to the five senses, and argues that they are just as important for learning and understanding the world. The poem is a reminder that we should never stop asking questions, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem.
