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.
• Amen.
