The Secret Service Has Plenty To Hide

The Keystone Kops Return

By Elton Camp

Wildly incompetent they may be
But only in silent films did we see

Their antics were humorous enough
In reality we can’t have that stuff

With the Keystone Kops on alert
The president’s too easy to hurt

A known criminal has been spied
With him taking an elevator ride

Into the White House, lickety-split
The Keystone Kops just had a fit

The invader rushed right on by
To shoot they didn’t even try

“We caught him right inside the door”
But we learn that they’ve lied before

Bullets hit the windows, splat
Four days to learn about that

“Secret Service” is a descriptive name
Who wouldn’t keep secret such shame!

Allusion vague?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8jphxpi1ro
