Ostentatiously Learned Inkhorn

Inkhorn means ostentatiously learned and pedantic

Ostentatiously Learned Inkhorn

What I had learned after being born,
Was that I would become an inkhorn;
Knowledge showing,
And brain growing;
All over my walls diplomas did adorn.

James, I second what Arturo said, I'm for it not against. Though I do not go with the crowd you know, unless some money is dispensed. -Richard
