I believe this is what they did with Picasso for his beloved canaries he did
notice that they changed colour a bit sometimes

Obsolescence
My first marriage, I remarked, lasted
the lives of two Electroluxes,
twenty years the first, then
ten years its successor.
My second marriage, I added,
has lasted the ten years
this Dyson has performed well -
till now refusing to start.
Shall we get it repaired?
or replace it?
She looked at me suspiciously
