Poster has black ink printed on white paper. At the top is an illustration of Ronald Reagan as a shepherd in a field surrounded by sheep. At the bottom of the poster is "Reagan is my shepherd...I shall not want / he maketh me lie down on park benches, / he leadeth me beside polluted waters; / he destroyeth my Social Security. / he leadeth me down the path of unemployment, for his name''s snake, / yes, though I wait in long line for my surplus cheese, / I fear his evil; for he is against me. / his M.X. missiles and his nuclear warheads, they discomfort me. / he steals food off the table before me, / and sells wheat to my enemies; / he overcharges for Arab oil, my taxes runneth upward, / surely poverty and inflation will follow me / all the days he is in office. / and I will dwell in a rented apartment...forever..." as a play on the oft-quoted Psalms 23 from the Bible.
