Mona Lisa
If I were the Mona Lisa
My hair would be such a mess
There would be no queuing up for me
That I must confess !
Painted by Leonardo da Vinci
A magnificent work of Art
Behind glass in the Louvre
Only cheap copies at the mart!
She was a Mother when :
Leonardo started painting her in 1503
He took his time
It took 4 years to complete!
It was never really finished though,
Though it looks rather neat
Da Vinci got mild paralysis
Which led to his defeat!
Never got paid in his lifetime
Paintings passed onto his lover
His earlier years -
Born from an orphaned mother!
Mona Lisa’s eyes -
Follow you round the room
Tourists throng every year
Round the painting they loom!
An Artist who was never paid
His painting now displayed in the Louvre
Never a Poet or an Artist be -
My mother in law used to say !
870 Million it’s worth today
Da Vinci never got to see his pay
If he knew how much it’s worth now
He’d turn in his grave with much dismay !
