There's memorization, and then there's memorization.
It's certainly true memorizing some things leaves them vulnerable to distortion over time. You probably don't remember the flash cards from some school test you took even a few months ago.
But who here seriously would ever "forget" their ABCs?
Are you 100% sure the next letter after "G" is "H" and not "K?" Or "T?"
Yea. You are. In fact, you probably use the song/rhythm as a standard test.
If you intend to memorize something important, that's the level it has to be memorized at — not flash cards.
FYI, various societies worldwide use poetry/song/music to record immense sums of data. Case in point — https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/allinthemind/indigenous-memory-code/7553976
The downside is, if you're like most Americans raised on television and social media, your brain probably sucks, lol.

Still wouldn't want to trust memorizing it. Over time, memories can get skewed.
Better just write a few down in steel & keep at a number if locations

What’s terrifying is that if this was a webapp, you might get a decent amount of real people putting their seed words here to generate a poem for them
