O'Traveler Tell Me Tell Me Poem by Alex Adeoye

O’ traveler tell me tell me
Tell me about your journey so far, from morning till now?
‘Like picking among orange, walnut and bitter cola,
A herculean task of must, hence the journey may not commence
I pick the hardest of all, bitter cola, and the journey started’.

O’ traveler tell me tell me
Tell me your journey so far from noon?
Like walk in hot rain, pealing of bitter cola
Some are empty, some are bad,
And some keep the beans.
I threw away the shells and ate the beans,
And the journey proceeded’.

O’ traveler tell me, tell me
Tell me about your journey so far up to here?
Like coming to a rest, to refresh and drink some water
I began to experience some taste as the water travels
Through the region of my heart
To the lower abdomen.

O’ traveler tell me, tell me
Tell me the journey so far from dawn to dusk.
