How to Be a Brainiac.
Memorizing make you smart! Or should I say "more smart"! Put away the little notepad and exercise your brain. Remember stuff. Start with this poem.

I refuse to acknowledge defeat. I'm going to make this the popular thread on MoFi if i have to post all the comments myself! Oh.

I make it a point to memorize a new poem every once in a while, just to add to the collection. Reciting the lot in my head is a good time-killer on the bus if I haven't brought a book.

By coincidence, I've just started doing this myself. I'm taking a voice class and every two weeks we get to stand up and recite something. So far I've got three poems done and working on a fourth. The neat thing is that it seems to be easier as I go along. But I should ask you TUM, got any tips for memorizing poems?
