The anti Serenity Prayer
God grant me the anxiety
to try to control the things I cannot control,
the fear to avoid the things I can,
and the neurosis to deny the difference.

2. I did not write it
but I enjoyed it.

Here is another:

Lord, Grant me the serenity to
accept the things I cannot change,
Courage, to change the things I can, and
Wisdom to hide the bodies of those people
I had to kill because they pissed me off.

And also,
Help me to be careful of the toes I step on today,
As they may be connected to the ass that I may
have to kiss tomorrow.

5. The hide the bodies one has kind of floated around as a joke
through the 12 step community for years.

The first one I posted I found when I did a google search on "anti serenity prayer"

I am so neurotic!

8. How about 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 that I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
