Today's word is "autodidact" ... aw-toh-DAHY-dakt ... a person who has learned a subject without the benefit of a teacher or formal education; a self-taught person. (Dictionary.com)
Student
If you go to school,
And spend a lot of money,
To get a paper, cool,
No one will think you're funny.
But if you're autodidactily inclined,
And an expert at your life,
There are some who'll say you can't shine,
And that you'll face more strife.
Don't listen to the moans,
From those who have diplomas faded,
They may just be jealous,
Or mad, or just plain jaded!
