NEEDS A MAKEOVER
I SIMPLY HAVE TO TAKE OVER

WHAT THEY NEED

YOU'VE GOT AN
AWFULLY LONG WAY TO GO

MY FRANK ANALYSIS
THINK OF IT AS PERSONALITY
DIALYSIS

TO BECOME A PAL
A SISTER AND ADVISER

WHEN I SEE DEPRESSING
CREATURES
WITH UNPREPOSSESSING
FEATURES
I REMIND THEM ON THEIR OWN
BEHALF TO THINK OF
CELEBRATED HEADS OF STATE
OR ESPECIALLY GREAT
COMMUNICATORS
DID THEY HAVE BRAINS
OR KNOWLEDGE
DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH
THEY WERE
RIGHT
IT'S ALL ABOUT POPULAR
