Mona Lisa

Humble Olive Eloisa
Went one day to work in Pisa
She posed for awhile
Behind flashy smile
She stood in for Mona Lisa.

Awww what a fine tribute to a lovely girl. However the smile she has currently in her avatar is a bit more bubbly than Mona Lisa. This was cute.

Mona Lisa's smile is more serious....Olive's smile radiates, on whichever avatar she uploads! Yes, she is lovely and much more. // paul

If I was a painter, I'd rather paint Olive Eloisa than the Mona Lisa any day. Nice Limerick Paul, James :)

Dear Paul, for ages people have wondered what Mona Lisa was thinking when she had the strange smirk. I guess da Vinci had to use the stand in for other parts of the painting if she had a "flashy smile." Very witty, my friend! Place give Olive Eloisa my condolences. LOL Love, Carolyn

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser

June 12, 2014 at 2:02 AM

Hahaha Carolyn..:) I can only smile..:)

Paul Callus

June 11, 2014 at 4:42 PM

Hi Carolyn! I think Mona Lisa had just been reading Limericks on Soup, while trying to keep her composure!! Hope Olive pops in to pass her own remarks :) This is my last comment for tonight before turning in:) hugs // paul
