I used to not stutter any. Oh, I did when I was a kid, I stuttered, I had a bad stutter until I was probably between the second and third grade and a guy got rid of it for me.

Life fills but stammering kills..........

Fears Fearing, Abosom my heart
Talkin someone, tongues departs

Thoughts heaps abound
Stuttering, my mind forever bound

Loving a damsel
But, how can I tell

My accent's, an irony
Scents, life's agony

Walking a fire, no fears
Talkin entire's, set me in tears

Heart for spanish fries
But my stomach, still cries
S, in spanish fries
Swings Stuttering frights

Our Lives

Our lives stutter
beneath the stammering of tongues
the hammering
of blood and bone and muscle
and we burden ourselves
with things
that in the end
don't really matter

As long as the white man stutters, the interpreters have a lot of work.

What has influenced my life more than any other single thing has been my stammer. Had I not stammered I would probably... have gone to Cambridge as my brothers did, perhaps have become a don and every now and then published a dreary book about French literature.

Two Old Crows

Two old crows sat on a fence rail.
Two old crows sat on a fence rail,
Thinking of effect and cause,
Of weeds and flowers,
And nature's laws.
One of them muttered, one of them stuttered,
One of them stuttered, one of them muttered.
Each of them thought far more than he uttered.
One crow asked the other crow a riddle.
One crow asked the other crow a riddle:
The muttering crow
Asked the stuttering crow,
"Why does a bee have a sword to his fiddle?
Why does a bee have a sword to his fiddle?"
"Bee-cause," said the other crow,
"Bee-cause,
B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B-cause."

Just then a bee flew close to their rail: --
"Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ZZZZZZZZ."

Ever

Don’t bitter teeth bite
A stammering heart
And don’t cruel shut
An open bud soul
Ever

I had this terrible stammer, so I couldn't really speak properly until I was 16 or 17.

Falling forward mattering mightily I feed,

But if you put a script up in front of me to read, or a cue card, I couldn't do it without stuttering.

The stammer was a way of telling the world that he was not like others, a way of expressing his singularity.

If Only

I cut my finger when you left the room,
The wound has healed long since then.
But the finger keeps bleeding, keeps bleeding
For reasons unknown to me.
I heard me stutter when you left the room,
The wound has healed long since then.
But my mind keeps stuttering, keeps stuttering
For reasons unknown to me.
If only I could remember
The tune I was whistling that day,
If only I could remember
The streets I had walked that day,
If only I could remember
If only, if only.
I saw me crying when you left the room,
The wound has healed long since then.
But my soul keeps crying, keeps crying
For reasons unknown to me.
If only you could tell me
Why Im smoking myself to death,

I'm convinced there's a small room in the attic of the Foreign Office where future diplomats are taught to stammer.
