It's possible, but where are you going to get to perform it often enough for it to sink in properly? I set out years ago to memorise the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (what's his name's 1st version), but only got about 1/3 of the way; but it gets tedious practicing, and the neighbours start complaining.

I see it's described as "imitation Robert Service", bt I've heard it actually attributed to him, though without provenance. Does anybody know for sure? If it was his, he proaly wrote other "unsuitable" stuff (although after 60-odd verses maybe he'd had eought!)
