George's Marvellous Medicine By: Roald Dahl Narrated by: Derek Jacobi

Please subscribe to my channel @OtatadeOkojie https://youtu.be/3bkEXtxAMaw

Presenting a mischievous new reading of Roald Dahl's George's Marvellous Medicine, read by BAFTA-winning comedian Romesh Ranganathan. This immersive audiobook is Georges Marvellous Medicine is one of my favourite Roald Dahl reads of all time, along with Matilda. It is a hillarious book about a young man producing a ridiculous concoction for his very nasty Grandmother. Grandma is both mean spirited, miserable, and mean. George creates a character and a story that will have you in both hysteria, and puzzling over whats in your meal, and who youve been engaging with lately. George a young man is left at home alone with Grandma, Grandma is kranky, mean spirited and very very miserable.A very mischievous read, Grandma is awful to George, and not much nicer to his parents either. We join George as he is put in charge of Grandmas medicine, a humorous book that looks at a childs ability to deal with a difficult adult.Although Grandma is a nightmare, what has us in laughing hysteria is Georges creative concoction, the ingredients he infuses in this awful medicine both to punish, yet for us to entertain. This book is highly entertaining, a read that will have you on the floor, this book is hillarious. Roald Dahl strikes again, the magic ingredients are both George, and Dahls dynamic use of language and ability to show such interesting colourful characters. Dahl is once again wizard with a pen.

The Man who walked for Miles (Otatade Okojie Poetry)

The man who walked for miles,
Just doesn't exist,
I commend the ideal
That one should persist
But hey;
This man had to rest,
And stop and catch his breath,
Otherwise he would fall and catch his death.
He even looked back into the past,
That didn't stop him from moving fast,
No.
Sometimes, this brave tired old man as he,
Had to go back in time and see,
What was on his mind,
What he'd left behind,
And turn then walk away.
This is the story of the man that walked for miles,
Who had his burden slung on his shoulder,
Who travelled on,
Who kept strong,
Till he was older,
Much older,
For time never stops,
Doesn't just start and never finish,
Time and change,
Does not diminish.
This man now rests,
Legs stretched to unfold,
Without this journey,
His quest would never be told.

Excerpt from Chapter 11

Who is this girl? I’m so caught off guard it’s all I can do to keep my mouth closed. I stopped listening to her babble and took a step into her, walking her slowly back till her back is against the wall. Her eyes are huge and her lips are slightly parted. I bring my hands up to her face, my thumbs barely touching her cheeks as I glide them back and forth. I pull her to me, slipping a hand around her neck and brushing my lips over hers. I pull back, putting my forehead against hers. Closing my eyes, I inhale her deeply. I can smell the wine and chocolate on her. The underlying dessert scented lotion from earlier, still lingering on her skin. I could eat her up.

With Each Surprise

image from bbc.co.uk

Surprise Surprise

It's in your eyes

The swamp of tears

A net of promise

Ionic bonds

leave a jumbled mind

You Klever one

the world is famished

For things we pick

and cotton wrapped

Sweet balls

Rotating orbs of life

Look at the wild ones

Their in distress

The kiss of death

has come near miss

They ache for Rope and Sorceress

Hand me a robe

for naked skin

the soul that's left

whose died within

A sip of hope

a lick of promise

Devastated by polished

Leather shoes.

Peak moment

image from youqueen

Taste like us
Sesame seeds on bread
Dry yet organised
I miss the corpse
Of romantic spring
The words that i thought
You'd burp what i think
All our Cheesecake time
Eaten in quarters
Man with a wife
Not yet to be daughter
What of the matchbox house
we built?
Cling film stair were never a rough
Yet as i scan
We were never enough
The lipstick on drawers
Paint on Fabric,
I needed a dreamer
I needed elastic,
What of the keys
i stole from your pocket
Gemini i will hide
and seek you
