Off

Sometimes you feel slightly off –
Maybe it’s a pain or cough.
Possibly you’re way too tired
Or the opposite – you’re wired.

You may have a little chill,
Or just feel a little ill.
Could be you are hot and sweaty,
Dizzy or a bit unsteady.

Stomach troubles may be perking;
Maybe there’s a virus lurking.
Or might it be in your head
Where all the anxious thoughts are bred?

Don’t let others start pooh-poohing
If you think that something’s brewing.
Likely there’s no problem – but,
Be vigilant and trust your gut.

Still, with just some extra rest,
You may wake up and feel your best;
‘Til that time, you shouldn’t scoff
When you are feeling slightly off.
