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

Oh, man, I do NOT want to become President now. No halo? Count me out!

Should one wish to fly away, I wonder, Gershon. Interesting poem, will call back to see what other comments reveal.
