"you take four cups of oatmeal...two pitted mangoes..."
Ernie: "hey bert!"

E: "hey bert! it's time for the rhyming game bert!"
B: "oh, no ernie, thanks, i don't want to play a game, i'm reading my book."
E: "oh, but you'll love this game, bert! see all you have to do is, you say something, and then i'll say something that rhymes with what you just said!"
B: "uh-huh, yeah, but i really don't want to play a game."
E: "maybe not bert, but we'll do it all the same!
You see that, you said game and i said same, and game and same both rhyme!"
B: "yeah, uh-uh, rhyme, i know. but ernie, it's just not what i want to do."
E: "wiggle your finger, and waggle your shoe!"
