The Marine Corps Is My Crotch (23rd Psalm)



The Bible’s 23rd psalm (“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want…”) has been much parodied, including versions adapted to the various military services. In the second item below, a certain word (crutch) doesn’t survive the copying process.

A Four-Year Bummer (Chanute Air Force Base, Champaign, IL), vol. 2, no. 6, August 1970, p. 9. “The Air Force is my crutch, I shall not think.” [“Reprinted from The Overseas Weekly.”]


Semper Fi (Marine Corps Air Station, Iwakuni, Japan), vol. 2, no. 12, 30 August 1971, p. 19. “The Marine Corps is my crotch.”
