The Senility Prayer

The Senility Prayer

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I like, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Now that I'm older (but refuse to grow up), here's what I have discovered:

1. I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

2. My wild oats have turned into prunes and All-Bran.

3. I finally got my head together - now my body is falling apart.

4. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

5. Funny, I don't remember being absent-minded.

6. It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.

7. The only time the world beat a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom.

8. If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees.

9. It's not hard to meet expenses. They're everywhere you turn.

10. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter. I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I'm hereafter.

Now, I think you're supposed to send the link to this to 5 or 6 or 10 people. Oh heck! Just send it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are. Then something is supposed to happen, I think. Maybe you get your memory back. Even worse, you may get mine.
