I always had lot of interest in the Vedas. But my focus has always been on the Upanishad part that deals with philosophic issues covered by the Vedas.

Do you remember how you used to memorize a nursery rhyme in your younger days?

You kept repeating this process for a while. That seemed to help you in remembering the rhyme.
