Almost anything by Spike Milligan but especially:-
Said Hamlet to Ophelia,

What kind of pencil shall I use?

Hmmm...not easy this once you start thinking about it. I'll chuck in 'To an Athlete Dying Young' by A. E. Housman and 'An Arundel Tomb' by Philip Larkin.

Not sure I have a favourite. But 'A Coat' by WB Yeats has stayed with me since my late teens/early twenties.
