The Great Depression

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 party’s

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 meAll the days of the Republican adminstration.And I shall dwell in a rented house forever.Amen.
