Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

They Wished On a Star

Donald and Joe
  Ronnie and Jimmy

Harry and George
  Richard 'n Cal 'n Barack

JFK, LBJ and TR
  Like Pinocchio, they wished on a star

All made promises they didn't keep
  All made us laugh, cry and say bleep ~

Remember, please, that the office of President
  does not provide halos for its residents

Harry Horsman April 7, 2021 at 10:11 PM Should one wish to fly away, I wonder, Gershon. Interesting poem, will call back to see what other comments reveal. Gershon Wolf April 8, 2021 at 5:48 PM Wow. Wish I had read your comment earlier. I meant to say 'halos' not wings. Oh, well, :) gw
