Once there lived a little monster
In a kingdom far away
And a very strange thing happened
As he brushed his teeth one day
As he squeezed his tube of toothpaste
Deepest thunder shook the skies
And suddenly a genie stood
Before his very eyes
I'm the genie of the toothpaste
Said the genie with a laugh
I've been trapped inside that toothpaste tube
For 3 weeks and a half
You squeezed the tube and set me free
So here is what I'll do
I'll let you have 3 wishes
And I'll make them all come true
Oh boy exclaimed the monster
Wow 3 wishes just for me
Now let me think and then decide
What my first wish will be
Now my favorite thing is cookies
Thought the monster with a grin
But first I'll wish for something nice
To keep my cookies in
I would like a million cookies
But before I use that wish
Hey Genie said the monster
You please bring me a dish
Will I ever said the genie
For your wish is my command
And instantly a dish appeared
Right in the monster's hand
Hey I did it cried the genie
Wow I haven't lost my touch
It's a nice dish said the monster
But it won't hold very much
The monster thought of all the cookies
That he'd soon get with his wish
And he knew a million cookies
Couldn't fit on one small dish
He would need something much bigger
So the monster said Hey Genie
I would like a great big box
This plate is much too teeny
You want a box you've got it
Said the genie with a smirk
And instantly a box appeared
The monster cried nice work
But although the box was pretty big
And could hold lots of stuff
Could it hold a million cookies
It just wasn't big enough
So the monster called the genie
And said Boy am I in luck
Since you'll give me what I wish for
How about a great big truck
And right away a truck appeared
Before the monster's eyes
Fantastic cried the monster
It is just the perfect size
It will hold a million cookies
And I'll never have to worry
And that is what I wish for
Give me cookies now please hurry
I am sorry said the genie
For though cookies are delicious
I cannot give them to you
'Cause you've used up your 3 wishes
Oh no exclaimed the monster
Is it true I just can't tell
For although I'm good at eating things
I do not count so well
Let us count these things together
Said the genie and you'll see
The dish is 1 the box is 2
And then the truck makes 3
3 things you're right the monster said
Now what am I to do
I've used up my 3 wishes
And I'm very hungry too
Gee that's too bad the genie said
But now my job's complete
I'm so hungry said the monster
Oh I need something to eat
I'm sad your wish for cookies
Can't come true the genie said
That's okay replied the monster
I'll just eat the truck instead
And as the monster ate the truck
The genie disappeared
Saying I have seen a lot of things
But boy is that guy weird
