There’s nothing better to decorate a small wall space than a tin sign. Why not get one that mixes bittersweet humor with the thought of growing older? Remember that not all elderly people may appreciate this type of humor, but it may cause a giggle or two for some of them. The senility prayer is a well-known stanza by which people ask the Lord to give them the power to forget people they never liked while remembering those they still do. It also makes a sarcastic comment about elderly people and poor eyesight.
