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!" |
