SCENE 1 On Oscar's trash can hangs a sign - "Grouchy Poems - Knock." Gordon, Bob, and the kids gather around as Oscar explains his service - simply knock on the can and he'll come up with a Grouchy poem using whatever words the customer suggests. Bob is amused that Oscar is able to take a nice word like "sweet" and make a grouchy poem using it. Gordon challenges Oscar to come up with another poem using the word "sun." After wracking his brain a bit, Oscar comes up with one: "When people are having fun in the sun, I hate it so much that away I run!"

SCENE 2 Big Bird sees two eggs sitting out on the table in the yard. He wonders where they came from, first thinking they're from some chickens. When he doesn't see any around, he tells Bob he now believes Mr. Hooper ordered them for the store. After a chase with Big Bird and Mr. Hooper attempting to meet with each other (they keep using opposite doors), Mr. Hooper denies claiming them as his eggs are kept in his refrigerator. Finally, Susan arrives and states the eggs are her lunch; she just left to get some salt.
