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!

If I recall that, I believe Robert was referring to Queen Victoria, correct? Back in the days when the sun never set on Her Majesty's Empire. My favorite of his many poems goes like this: "Oh, there's a race of men who don't fit in, a race that never will. So they break the hearts of Kith and Kin, and roam the world at will"! I have found that many men of our age and experience also like to read Kipling and Jack London, and possibly, Hemingway and Ruark as well.

"I have clinched and closed with the naked North, I've learned to defy and defend!"
