Funny, I can still recite, in entirety, from memory things I committed to memory, in the 70/80 like:

Tennyson's Ulysses, The Voyage, and The Charge of the Light Brigade

Father Forgets W. Livingston Learned. Every young parent should read this and remember it's message.

Hamlet, Act III, Scene I

Casabianca by Felicia Dorothea Hemans

Various other works by different people.

I also remember all 100 peg words from Harry Lorayne memory system.

But I'll be damned if I can remember where I put my car keys, billfold from day to day.
