 	SCENE 3 	Maria finds Telly asking Oscar for help writing a poem. Oscar suggests he write one about him (Oscar) moving away from Sesame Street so he doesn't have to hear Telly's poem. Telly gets sad writing the poem, so Maria suggests he write one about Oscar coming back. Telly is happy and wants to hug and kiss Oscar, who prefers the sad poem better. Telly switches from between the two poems for Oscar and Maria (alternating between feeling sad and happy) until he makes a compromise and writes a new poem about feeling sad when Oscar moves and hugging Maria to feel better.
