Da Vinci Painting The Mona Lisa Poem by Chuck Audette

Da Vinci Painting The Mona Lisa

Rating: 5.0


he paints on all her clothes,
for she had none all the while -
as in the nude she really posed,
wearing just her smile!



[for Anna Russell,
as my reply to her comment at 'The Scream (explained) ' ]
(taken with minor alterations (excuse the pun) from 'Well-dressed')
Happy 500th Birthday, La Gioconda!

Excellent! I loved it! I always wondered about that little smile of hers... now I can imagine why it looks so ornery! Warmest regards and respect, CJ

Fan-bloody-tastic! Short and sweet - definitely clears up one of lifes great mysteries.10, naturally. Now, for your next assignment: who killed JFK, did they really land on the moon, who was Jack the Ripper, oh, and, does God exist? Shouldn't take you long! Thanks for the great big smile on my face. Big hugs Anna xxx

Gooood one, Chuck - another painting I'll never look at the same way again! (I just knew that little smile was hiding the naked truth...!)

Chuck, It is good to have an active ' fantasy life ', ... as long as you know the difference. B.V.A.
