Put on your socks go out and play <br />With friends and foes you sweat and sway <br />You scream, you yell, no stress astray <br />Such is good, a therapy at play <br /> <br />That is not a lot that is not enough <br />At night you sing though chest is puff <br />Take the stage if you have the stuff <br />You have no talents but no one laugh! <br /> <br />Be passionate on things you do <br />Also be serious if you have to <br />Make your friends too be like you <br />So that you are happy thru' and true <br /> <br />Recreation is a form of treatment <br />Do it weekly or at least more frequent <br />The aching bodies get some easement <br />Stress at bay, hypertension is gone! <br /> <br />Exercise is a form of vaccine <br />Your body is healthy your skin feels clean <br />Bugs and viruses are not in scene <br />Oxygen aplenty, your lungs are green <br /> <br />This poem was inspired after the lecture I gave at one international sports meeting entitled ‘Exercise and Cancer- a reciprocal relationship'; July 2009<br /><br />Noor Othman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/play-and-sway-stress-at-bay/
