Instructions written
in five different languages;
so why won't it work?
This haiku was written per Sunday Scribblings' "instructions." This is my shortest scribble ever!
HAHA...Love it! This is my life in a nutshell!

Beautiful image!

Stunning image, as ever.
I'd like to agree with the sentiment of the haiku, but I don't even bother to look at the pictures, let alone find out I can't understand the instructions.

I love this! Excellent take on the prompt, and after reading the comments, I may be avoiding IKEA...

The best haikus ring true, and this one certainly does. I thought of Ikea immediately!

I've asked myself that same question many a time...great response to the prompt. :)
