February 8 - Joe Raposo (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Joe Raposo (8 February 1937 – 5 February 1989) was an American composer, songwriter, pianist, singer and lyricist, best known for his work on the Sesame Street.

L is for Limerick

Raposo accomplished the feat,

While composing for Sesame Street,

Of filling his slots

With music for tots,

That was funny, instructive, and sweet.


“C is for Cookie” was cute,

And Kermit in “Green” was astute,

And surprisingly, “Sing”

Was a very big thing

When The Carpenters opted to do’t
