Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar the Grouch demonstrates his "poem-writing machine" to Bob and the kids: just write down a word on a card and insert it, and the machine will create a grouchy poem from it. It rhymes "glad" with "mad" and "feel so bad," and it rhymes "hello" with "don't know" and "go." Finally, Bob writes the word "nice" on a card and inserts it, causing the machine to write a non-grouchy poem, to Oscar's dismay.
 	Muppets 	Lefty the Salesman wants to sell Ernie an empty box, explaining that he can fill the box with things like a pet mouse (if Ernie had one) and jellybeans (if they rained from the sky).

After Gordon is finished, he finds Big Bird sleeping, making the "z" sound in his sleep.
