Haiku Friday: Oh, oh O.J.!
Anyone who has known me for a while knows that I was totally obsessed very interested in the O.J. Simpson murder trials. I watched Court TV everyday. Read the papers. Watched the news. Read every article I could get my hands on about the trial, lawyers, evidence, jury, etc.
And when the verdict came down, I ranted and raved for DAYS.
That was over 13 years ago, but I've never forgotten - or forgiven - the miscarriage of justice, the utter mockery of our system - that went on in that courtroom. So today, the day O.J. was sentenced to nine to 33 years in jail, I can't help feeling a little giddy and gleeful.
I bring you: Haiku Friday. The O.J. Goes to jail edition:
Oh O.J. Simpson
Escaped prison many years
Justice here at last
O.J. cried in court
Says he didn't know it was wrong
Ha! Bullshit I say
Day I've waited for
Jail: Nine to thirty-three years
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
O.J. got off once
This time no dream team in court
Incarcerated

Perfect. I hope he finds love and romance in prison and that they'll treat him as kindly and gently as he treated his wife
Awesome!
Wow! You rocked those haiku. Quite the subject matter -- I'm impressed at how well you made it work!
Now that is my kind of haiku!
Love it!
FYI - my Junior Prom date was one of the guys who arrested OJ this time around. Hell yeah!
