Moaning Lisa

You'd never know this masterpiece By Leonardo da Vinci Was painted while Moaning Lisa Had cramps in her lower vicinity Muffling her moans while she sat there Knowing what fame lay ahead Knew she'd become most recognized Centuries after she was dead You really can't see the porta-potty But trust me I know it's there Actually had these devices back then Build right into each chair My job on P-Soup has forever been To basically tickle your fancy Not really sure I know where that is Guessing it can be a bit chancy Next time you view this famous painting Think of Moaning Lisa's chagrin With such an angelic look on her face Never guess the discomfort she was in! © Jack Ellison 2013 Apologies to Leonardo!

Haven't been on to see your work in a while and saw the title and had to read this. Of course I was not dissappointed. Certain parts of the material may be "chancy" but you passed it through so far. Very clever my friend. Great work.

Ha Ha, LOL, this is too funny my friend! I really loved how you said she had cramps and that is how she had that weird looking grin on her face! How hilarious! I don't think you need to apologize to Leonardo because you never know what the situation truly was! What a brilliant piece here Jack, Great Work!!
