The Poet

Was all that money I made last year
For whitey on the moon?
How come I ain't got no money here?
Hmm! Whitey's on the moon
Y'know I just 'bout had my fill
Of whitey on the moon
I think I'll send these doctor bills
Airmail special
To whitey on the moon

Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams
Home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my silent screams
Home is where the needle marks
Try to heal my broken heart
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never, if I never went home again

Doug Henning does the makeup
Special FX from Grecian Formula 16 & Crazy Glue

Their slogan is, "Why wait for 1984 when you can panic now and avoid the rush?"

So much for the good news…

Luna moth illustrations based on photo references by @allbugsgotokevin.bsky.social

These were a lot of fun and science facts on them can be found in the Facebook group! (I know, Zugh, Facebook, but there’s more room to type there)
