Mona Lisa Poem by Frank Ammerlaan

You're like a charming installation
Thin veil covering your hair
Your best dress for the occasion
Carefully sitting in your chair

You're looking right at him
He is making you smile
Leo's attentively painting
You know, this will take a while

I think you must have liked him
Or maybe just the thought
Of this man painting
Your face so it ought
To be put
On the wall

How much did you know
The treasure it will become
From far and wide people will come
To see it when you're long gone

They´ll skip the French treasures
Other paintings, diamonds and all
they queue up, queue up and yet again
Just to see your slight smile
Painted on a canvas
On the wall
