Oscar's poem-writing machine
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.
