self-correction

Courtesy's a strength, 
but propriety's skill. 
And I've had so many
teachers, but they're all
equal. Please pronounce
that eek-will, even though
it's eek-wul. Or the rhyme
doesn't work, and to me
that's bull. 

So I've had so many 
teachers, I could not 
be trained. I've just worn 
as many grooves and gears 
in my brain as I've had to deal
with all these different beans.
Being human myself, I have

found the means.
