Crappy Van Gogh Poster

(To the Tune of “Vincent”, by Don McLean)

Starry starry night

Poster frame of blue and grey

I saw at a yard sale today

Who would buy that? I really want to know?

Shadows on the porch

Some golf clubs and a tiki torch

Some dirty jeans and women’s shorts

A print by Escher and this old Vince Van Gogh

I want to understand

Tell me how much might this poster be?

A dollar, that’s insanity

You should give this away for free

Can you say his name in Dutch? Bet you do not know how

It’s actually pronounced Vincent Van Cow

Starry starry night

Some fake flowers and a tacky vase

A toaster and a microwave

And this crappy poster on this crappy day

I was driving by

And this image somehow caught my eye

Where did it hang? Please tell me why

You don’t just throw it in the garbage can?
