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 guided 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 not fear evil, for thou art against me;
Thy Cabinet and thy Senate, they do no discomfort
me;
Thou didst prepare a reduction in my wages;
In the presence of my creditors thou anointed my
income with taxes,
So my expense overruneth my income.
Surely poverty and hard times will follow me
And I shall dwell in a rented house forever.
Amen.
-E.J. Sullivan
Then and now.
