Lewis Carroll

Lewis Carroll, author of the well known story, Alice in Wonderland

wanted to become a priest but sadly wasn't allowed to because of his

stuttering.

He wrote this poem that mentions his stuttering:

Learn well your grammar,

And never stammer,

Write well and neatly,

And sing soft sweetly,

Drink tea, not coffee;

Never eat toffy.

Eat bread with butter.

Once more don't stutter.
