I love the image of the zergs..... I remember once when I was unemployed I got addicted to this video game called Harvest Moon. It was about farming. I spent my days farming via Nintendo. Oh, also forgot to mention in the review that this book is in my top favorites for haiku humor. It's really that funny and is up there with <a href="http://www.haikubytwo.com/haiku-mama-by-kari-ann-roy/" rel="nofollow">Haiku Mama</a>, another favorite of mine. That’s really funny, Eric!

It was originally supposed to be: My wife comes home soon, I must defeat the invading zerg quickly! She can't catch me playing starcraft in my underwear again! But there were just way too many syllables. ~edk Many of those Haiku were written years ago when I was ‘between jobs’ … that particular one was just after 9/11, 2001, and was the result of my good friend also losing his job and having to move in with us for a short time.

Working from home, I can totally relate to the top haiku you shared...the one about having to shower and get dressed now. Sometimes I all of a sudden realize it's 2 pm and I haven't even gotten dressed. Funny.
