I met peoples....
Lots or...Fews...
But, you are the Coolest...
Like the Morning Dews..
A Superfine good wish
Here... I send,
Riddle me always,
......................If you can.

Like how short? thirty lines or three? I've memorized a few of my favorites, but the first one I ever etched in the gray matter is by Leonard Cohen:
For Annie
With Ann gone
whose eyes to compare
with the morning sun
not that I did compare
but I do compare
now that she is gone.
I probably have the line breaks wrong and the last line may or may not be a stanza unto itself. But it's the first one I ever memorized. Good stuff. Thanks for helping me remember!

I've got Jabberwocky memorized, but it seems like a lot of people do. Also,
King's cross!
What shall we do?
From his crown he's torn the gems
he's thrown his sceptre into the Themes
The court is shaking in its shoe!
King's Cross!
What shall we do?
Leave him alone for a minute or two.
Oh, and Brahma, by Ralph Waldo Emerson. And part of Kubla Khan. Probably more if I thought about it.

You fit into me
like a
hook into an eye,
A fish hook,
an open eye
