Digits 0-22 : Rebecca Brannon's Poem

I think this poem is a good start for memorizing Pi. It fits the tune of "America" from West Side Story:

three point one four one five nine
two six five three five eight nine
seven nine three two three eight four
six two six and a whole lot more.

Digits 13-30 : The Giant Palindrome

If you use only the first two lines of the poem (digits 0-12), you can memorize the digits up to position 30 in the following way:

79...........
..32.........
....38.......
......46264.3 - If you disregard the 3, the center of the palindrome is a palindrome itself
....38.......
..32.........
79...........
