Mine is Jabberwocky.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.'

The opening soliloquy to "Richard III."

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York.

I may need to work on The Jabberwocky!

"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.......Longfellow. I had to write it 100 times on the classroom blackboards after school, punishment for being "myself" in class. It took two afternoons.

There are NO daffodils growing in my yard.

There once was a band from Nantucket
Who played all their songs in a bucket.
The sound was so bad
the crowd they got mad
So the band said as one
"AHHH SHUCK-IT!"

Knew "The Man from Snowy River" at one time.

For the word had got around..."

Hamlet's soliloquy, plus a couple pages each side of it for an English class. Took about an hour to do.

"My Midnight Drag With Hank Revere" (based on Longfellow's "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere")

I memorized it by accident after reading it several times in either Hot Rod or Car Craft magazine back in the early '70's.
