Happy birthday, Johny

 May all your wishes come true

Maybe this

 I've tasted hunger, felt the tooth
Saw spectral figures from my youth
In dreams, then I awoke
Kids, don't smoke

I don't need to slash the night
To violate it with my light
The moon's already made its stroke
Kids, don't smoke

Someone’s here. I start to bark
In the quiet of the dark
A warning, challenge or a joke?
Kids, don’t smoke

Through the darkness and the thickness
I’ve felt the coming of the sickness
Sticky as a rum & coke
Kids, don’t smoke

 It occurred to me that your previous verse could be adapted to mine, Jymn:

I don't need to slash the night
To violate it with my light
The moon's already made its stroke
Kids, don't smoke

Today's Verse: 5 October 2026

There are no two sides to this argument
It's a perfect sphere of jelly fat
Extruded from a tube of blind faith

Work in Progress (or maybe just Today's Verse, 9/30/26)

 I've tasted hunger, felt the tooth
Saw spectral figures from my youth
In dreams, then I awoke
Kids, don't smoke

And the hits just keep on coming
