Mona Lisa Smiles?



Looking at this famous work

I find myself a pondering

Is she really smiling

Or was her mind a wandering

She does not seem so happy

In fact I would say annoyed

As though she finds the painter

To be someone to avoid

I can almost hear her

Saying are we almost done

I have so many things to do

And honesty this is not fun

Yet demure she stays a sitting

Like all women of her time

Perhaps the closed lip smile

Because speaking was a crime
