Mona Lisa
The painted smile that hangs on the wall
Still captures the hearts of men
Did he know that this smile would somehow beguile
And be such a treasure back then?
Poems and songs pay her tribute
And everyone knows her name
She couldn't have known as she sit all alone
That her smile would bring her such fame
He labored four years to capture her smile
But his painting would never be sold
It hung on his wall admired by all
A vision that would never grow old
Lisa Gheradini bore this famous smile
Started in fifteen hundred and three
It took him four years thru blood, sweat and tears
As he painted this history
She now sits at the Louvre museum
Owned by the Government of France
So the next time you're there it's okay if you stare
And give the Mona Lisa a glance
