From a textbook comes this ditty, but I have no idea what it means.

Pin, marín
de don Pingüé
cúcara, mácara
títere, fue.
I think it is a Spanish version of our 'Enie meeny miny mo' counting rhyme

As near as I can tell from researching the words in the dictionary.
It says something like:

Pin, marín / wooden (pine) marionette
de don Pingüé / of Don Fatso
cúcara, mácara / winking, (riducule) bragging?
títere, fue. / the puppet was.
