The "memory test", in my experience is usually associated with a drinking
game.  Failure to correctly recite all of the lines compels a player to
take a swig of whatever libation is being passed around (151 proof rum is
particularly effective for this).  Here's a similar list:

A big fat hen
a couple of ducks
3 brown bears
4 running hares
5 fat females sitting on a fence
6 Sicilian sailors sailing the seven seas
7 Simple Simons going to the fair
8 egotistical egoists echoing exotic ecstacies
9 Nubian nymphs nimbly nibbling gnats, nuts, and nicotine

(There's no tenth line; players who make it this far must recite
the following -- )

A fig plucker's son I'm not,
A fig plucker's son I'll never be,
But I'll pluck figs till the fig plucker's son
Comes back to pluck figs for me.
