The Green Eyed Monster

I seen a green eyed monster
I went to bed with a thought of good things.
My belly made a really bad noise I thought it was a possibility that monster.
With everyone to sleep I went downstairs without a sound.
To the cookie jar I went. Then out it came from the dark.
This big green eyed monster.
I just wanted to hide but no place to go. I was caught with the cookie jar.
I reach into the jar and took a cookie out. 
I handed the cookie to the green eyed monster.
He took it with a grump then went out of sight.
The green eyed monster looked back at me 
He said in a voice I heard before.
Go to bed my son or that green eyed monster might get you.
