HUSH Take Five
  • The 1932nd Psalm
  • Hoover is my Shepherd, I am in want,
  • He maketh me to lie down on park benches,
  • He leadeth me by still factories,
  • He restoreth my doubt in the Republican party,
  • He guideth me in the path of the unemployed for
    his partys sake.
  • Yea, though I walk through the alley of soup
    kitchens,
  • I am hungry.
  • I do fear evil, for thou art against me
  • Thy Cabinet and they Senate, they do discomfort
    me
  • Thou didst prepare a reduction in my wages
  • In the presence of my creditors Thou annointed my
    income with taxes,
  • So my expense overrunneth my income.
  • Surely poverty and hard times will follow me
  • All the days of the Republican adminstration.
  • And I shall dwell in a rented house forever.
