My favorite poem as a kid was one I learned in elementary school called "Eletelephony"--it's a nonsense poem and it cracked me up so much that I couldn't read it without giggling. I found it on Google a few months ago!
As an adult/English teacher, my favorites are Eliot's "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and a poem by Walt Whitman that I saw as part of an art display in the Tate Gallery in 2000 and haven't been able to find again since. It was part of a David Hockaday exhibit that I can't find online, and it was so lovely that it made me cry.
