The Mona Lisa Smile

Leonardo da Vinci made
The most famous smile in the world
In the "Mona Lisa" in shade.
The smile seems to be upward curled.
But look at the smile directly.
The corners of the lips turn down
As though "Mona Lisa" could be
Really in the midst of a frown.
And so perhaps this famous smile
Is really not a smile at all,
But nonetheless it does beguile,
And smiling is the favored call.

A smile or not, who knows, oh well,
The "Mona Lisa" lips don't tell.
