Notes About The Poem

Clerihew-Miss Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa, the lady I greatly adore
See her sophisticated beauty I implore
Put her portrait not in a large frame, but thin
She will surely give to you all her sourest grin

Her portrait hangs in a large room in the Louvre in Paris, and though there are many large beautiful paintings in that same room, there is always a crowd surrounding her much smaller powrtrait. So you see, she does have a reason to keep smiling! I enjoyed your clerihew Leonora.

La Gioconda was a bella regazza. If she was living today, I would go after her right away. Her portrait would not be enough to make my heart sing. I would be fervently pursuing the real thing.
