So, who is it that needs savin'?  iPad down, no misbehavin'.  Wave the wand you'll hear that harpie sigh! The day, my Luna cried. So! High! Mr. Moon landing guy.  Plucked her marrow with an arrow Shyly batted those eyes Just kiss your wife and let a pineapple die- Swearing this'll be the night we stand by! This'...
