Twain says not to let school

Interfere with learning.

Well, teach, I've gotta say

You are getting in my way. 

I need to learn: how to think,

How to live, how to be.

Eternizing integrals, formulas,

And trying to find

A glimmer of meaning

In Austen's epistolary are 

Endeavors quite frankly 

Not worth my damn time.
