I learned this 30 years ago and had to recite in front of my class - could scarce do it without giggling. Not sure if I have it all right but here goes...
twas brillig and the slithey toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe
all mimsey were the borogoves and the mome rathes outrage.
Beware the jabberwock my son. The jaws that bite the claws that snatch. Beware the jub jub bird and shun the frumious bandersntach.
So took hi vorpal sword in hand, long time the manxum foe he sought. So rested he by the tum tum tree and sat awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he sat the jabberwock with eyes aflame cmae whiffling through the Tulgey wood and burbled as it came. One, two! One, two! And through and through the vorpal blade went snicker snack! he left it dead and with it's head he went gallumphing back.
And hast thou slain the jabberwock? Oh come to my arms my beamish boy. Callhoo, Callhay! Oh frabjous day he chortled in his joy!
Twas brillig and the slithey toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsey were the borogroves and the mome rathes outgrabe.

I learned Twas the Night before Christmas when I was in 3rd grade. To this day I can still say the whole thing. I have been out of school for 25 years.

I had a little tea party, this after noon at 3
'twas very small,
three guests in all
just I, myself, and me
myself ate up the sandwiches,
while I drank up the tea
'twas also I that ate the pie. and passed the cake to me

I eat my peas with honey
Ive done it all my life.
Even though it tastes funny
it keeps them on my knife.
A flea and a fly in a flue.
They didn't know what to do.
"Let us flee!" said the fly.
"Let us fly" said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw
in the flue.
