Lately i have poetry to be great for the residents around this time. I find poems by Banjo Patterson or other similar poets and read the poems aloud. The residents who can follow the story of the poem love to listen to that aspect of it, and the residents who cannot follow the story simply enjoy the sound of someones voice. Also, if you add animation to your face and voice, this heightens the experience for them. A perfect poem is 'The Man From Snowy River'
