The O.J. Simpson trial as told by Dr. Seuss


I did not kill my lovely wife.
I did not slash her with a knife.
I did not bonk her on the head.
I did not know that she was dead.

I stayed at home that fateful night.
I took a cab, then took a flight.
The bag I had was just for me.
My bag! My bag! hey, leave it be!

When I came home I had a gash.
My hand was cut from broken glass.
I cut my hand on broken glass.
A broken glass did cause that gash.

My friend, he took me for a ride.
All through LA, from side to side.
>From north to south, we took a ride.
But from the cops we could not hide.

My trial lasted for a year.
A year! A year! just sitting here!
The DNA, the HEM-The HAW!
The circus-hype the viewers saw!
A year! A year! just sitting here!
And lawyers charge by the hour I fear!

If I'm found guilty I will appeal!
Appeal! Appeal! I will appeal!
I'll wheedle and whine - I'll cut a deal!
If it's "not guilty" so glad I'll feel

Did you do this awful crime?
Did you do this anytime?

I did not do this awful crime.
I could not, would not anytime.

Did you take this person's life?
Did you do it with a knife?

I did not do it with a knife.
I did not, could not kill my wife.
I did not do this awful crime.
I could not, would not anytime.

Did you hit her from above.
Did you drop this bloody glove?

I did not hit her from above.
I cannot even wear that glove.
I did not do it with a knife.
I did not, could not kill my wife.
I did not do this awful crime.
I could not, would not, anytime.

And now I'm free, I can return
To my house for which I yearn.
And to my family whom I love.
Hey, now I'm free - Give back my glove!!!!!
