My dad could recite stanza after stanza of Kipling when I was a kid.

I can do that. Kipling is a favorite. I've been reading my grandkids some of his stories for kids.

Robert W. Service is another one that would make a great memmorization project. I went to school with a kid who could recite all of Service’s poems by heart. He used to stand on a platform on the side of the HS steps (after evening club meetings) and regale all of us with his skill.
