Carmine was born at a very young age
And since then, he has become a very old sage
He has said he was told
That this means, that he has become smarter and old
He lived in Brooklyn N.Y. a good part of his life
Until he met Mary Jo, his loving wife
It was during this time
That he would write his thoughts in rhyme
He has done this for a long time
His children’s poems were very few
Numbering only two
Little children, he has said, he wrote them especially for you
He wants you kiddies to enjoy his rhyme
In learning your numbers and having a good time
