3. APUSH Take Five The 1932 nd Psalm Hoover is my Shepherd, I am in want, He maketh me lie down on park benches, He leadeth me beside 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 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.
