Screen Saver

My husband, who wanted a change

On his phone, thought that he would arrange

For a different Van Gogh

Since, as screen savers go,

Such a choice isn’t really that strange.

 

So he searched for some art to replace

What he had and to fill up that space

And what came into view

Was so lovely, he knew

It was something that he could embrace.

 

When he showed it to me and our son,

Right away certain doubts had begun,

For the question was raised

After one real quick gaze*

If the work was one Van Gogh had done.

 

The Museum (Van Gogh) did reply

To my husband’s request, with a sigh.

What you’ve sent us, alas,

No inspection would pass

For it isn’t Van Gogh, but A.I.
