One
summer, a few years ago, when I was still
living at home, my
family and I memorized poems as a
hobby. It was really fun, actually. Its amazing what you can memorize, probably pretty good for excercising your
brain, and nice to impress your
friends with, too.
I memorized Jabberwocky (Carol), The Second Coming (Yeats), A Thing of Beauty (Keats), and a couple of others that I can't think of off the top of my head right this minute. My mom memorized The Walrus and the Carpender (Carol), and many, many others (I guess she had more free time than me).
