When I was a fifth grader we were required to memorize all prime numbers below 20.

    Now I, even I, would celebrate
    In rhymes unapt, the great 
    Immortal Syracusan, rivalled (sic) nevermore
    Who, in his wondrous lore,
    Passed on before,
    Left men his guidance
    How to circles mensurate.
