Mona Lisa Here Today

Mona Lisa here Today

My heart galloped into my mouth
My eyes blinked rapidly in awe
Seconds I was neither alive nor dead
As I gaped at a lily meadow-sweet
Seated right there at the high table
	
One could tell from appearance
That it was not the lily of the bushes
Nor the meadow-sweets of the valleys
But Mona Lisa with a mission
To break every strong man’s heart
