Re: Poems you memorized as a kid

[(Anonymous)]

Because we were all around the same age and bored in the same space during the summers, my sisters, our cousins and I used to put on these little show things for the adults where we'd act out poems and things. (This was not an adult-prompted activity, by the by, we just decided to one summer and then kept it going for the next two or three). We memorised chunks of Edward Lear's Nonsense Rhymes, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes, and randomly The General by Siegfried Sassoon, which was possibly a little adult for us but Dad's book of world war poetry was one of the readily-reachable poetry books in the house. I remember that one particularly because I had fun pretending to march around like a soldier while reciting it. Despite, you know, everybody in it besides the General ending up dead.

Everyone in our family could also recite very large sections of The Cremation of Sam McGee by a young age, because that was Dad's idea of a bedtime story. Which, fair enough. It is an awesome poem.
