American Eagles Against Drones

When it comes to protecting the White House from drones landing on its lawn

The Secret Service’s reputation of an elite protective force seems to be a put-on

When it comes to fence jumpers stop

The Secret Service looks more like the latest version of the Keystone Kops

A low tech solution of raising the height of the fence

Looks like it will be an acceptable defense

The drones may be a harder nut to crack

God help the President if a drone is with explosives loaded coming into attack

Here is an idea on how to the White House protect

Not surprisingly it eschews expensive esoteric solutions from high tech

We all know that eagles can knock down  birds from the sky

Or swoop down and snatch large salmon from the ocean on the fly

Go back in time and trained falcons perched on a hunter’s you will find

Launched into the air to bring down prey from the front or from behind

If falcons can be trained, their cousins the eagles can’t be a mental slouch

Can you imagine the images of Secret Service on patrol with eagles in an attack ready crouch

If you think this idea is farfetched think anew

Watch the video of the knocking down a drone coming into an eagle’s view

What better image to the reputation of the Secret Service resurrect

Than our county’s symbol on Secret Service perches to our President protect
