Just had a lovely afternoon with my dad reciting poems together that he learned in school. I think that was something they used to do in education in the forties/ fifties and it is something he is still finding pleasure in. He can remember the poems ( with a few prompts). I’d be interested to hear from others who have found the same and to find out which poems are enjoyed. Today it was a poem called Sea Fever by John Masefield, which was a new one to me.
