The Da Vinci Dentistry
Unschooled in art, uncouth, that's what
you'll say of me;
I've tried and tried so hard, but I
still have to see
da Vinci's Mona Lisa mythic,
mystic smile
bewitching folks allegedly even
from a mile.
It seems to me she parts her lips
quite daintily
to let a drunken hiccup out
quite gracefully
or stop a vulgar burp,
hyperacidity,
or hide those nicotine-blackened teeth
artfully.
But truth to tell, nothing in her mouth's
symmetry
remotely resembles a smile with
mystery;
perhaps, she's toothless, some dental
deformity,
believe you me, I took up
ortho-dentistry!
