Somethin’ just ain’t  right with me
My enthusi lost its asm .
My rise and shine is down and dim.
Up and at ‘em is down for the count.
I’m neither bright-eyed nor bushy-tailed.
My get up and go has long since went.
The worms don’t miss that early bird.
My eager beaver is a sullen sloth.
There is no zippity in my do-da.
Oh, blah gray.
Oh, blah day.
Somethin’ just ain’t right with me.

I have the perfect cure, Lori!  Just read your poem!  I am sure you will laugh as much as I did.  That second line, especially, is a giggle-rigger if ever there was one!

I have moments like that... though they tend to last far longer than a day usually.  Here's hoping your "blah" isn't nearly so stubborn.
