I think Gandalf even tells Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn that the people of Rohan know their history through songs and poems because not all of them can read.

As a person I also simply liked the poems and songs because I like poetry.

In the time of middle-earth the entertainment was through songs, poems and tales instead of movies
