La Gioconda

Most people called her "Mona Lisa"
La Gioconda was a bella regazza. 
As far as good looks went, she had alotzza!
If she was living today, 
I would go after her right away. 
Her portrait is not enough to make my heart sing. 
I would be fervently pursuing the real thing.

Inspired by another member's poem.
