Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa men have named you
You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
Is it only cause you're lonely they have blamed you
Or that Mona Lisa strangeness in your style
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
- Musical Interlude -
Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa
Or is this your way to hide a broken heart
Many dreams have been brought to your door step
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm? Are you real Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

Gioconda And Si-Ya-U

to the memory of my friend SI-YA-U,
whose head was cut off in Shanghai

A CLAIM

Renowned Leonardo's
world-famous
"La Gioconda"
has disappeared.
And in the space
vacated by the fugitive
a copy has been placed.

The poet inscribing
the present treatise
knows more than a little
about the fate
of the real Gioconda.
She fell in love
with a seductive

Grits Aint Groceries

If I dont love you baby,
Grits aint groceries,
Eggs aint poultry,
And mona lisa was a man.
All around the world
Id rather be a fly
And light on my babys head,
Ill stay with that
Woman til I die.
A toothpick in my hand,
I dig a 10-foot ditch
And ride through the jungle
Fightin lions with a switch,
Because ya know I love ya baby,
Well, you know I love you baby,
And if I dont love you baby,
Grits aint groceries,
Eggs aint poultry,
And mona lisa must-a been a man.
Well, its all around the world and I got

Mona Lisa

We stood together on the museum floor
and the Mona Lisa smiled.
You held my hand, then looked at me
with tender eyes so mild.
I smiled and heard you say to me
'I'd rather look at you.'
and as we left Mona Lisa watched
and once again she knew
what a smile can do.

Her Gioconda Smile

Beauty
never came into it
it was more
carnal desire
than love
for the Gioconda smile.

Joconde

IN Lombardy's fair land, in days of yore,
Once dwelt a prince, of youthful charms, a store;
Each FAIR, with anxious look, his favours sought,
And ev'ry heart within his net was caught.
Quite proud of beauteous form and smart address,
In which the world was led to acquiesce,
He cried one day, while ALL attention paid,
I'll bet a million, Nature never made
Beneath the sun, another man like me,
Whose symmetry with mine can well agree.
If such exist, and here will come, I swear
I'll show him ev'ry lib'ral princely care.

A noble Roman, who the challenge heard,
This answer gave the king his soul preferr'd
--Great prince, if you would see a handsome man,
To have my brother here should be your plan;
A frame more perfect Nature never gave;
But this to prove, your courtly dames I crave;
May judge the fact, when I'm convinc'd they'll find:

Mona Lisa

[Intro (spoken)]
This is the story about... Mona Lisa
That was her name...
Mona Lisa
[verse 1]
Ladies and Gentlemen, I've got a little story to tell
About Mona Lisa, and how she suddenly fell (huh)
See everyone knew her, they knew her oh so well
Now I am taking over, to release her from her spell
[chorus]
She's unforgettable, she was a legend though
It's kinda pitiful that she's gone
It's kinda incredible
She's so unpredictable (yeah, yeah)
It's time to let her go (yeah) cuz she's gone, cuz she's gone, cuz she's gone
[Verse 2]
She was taken under, drowning in her sea (huh)
Running like an angel, she was crying but could not see (oh no!)
Now see everyone's watching, as she starts to fall
Now don't have a breakdown

Mona Lisa Frowns

No darkness, drabness or sadness; could ever depress or compress Mona Lisa's rainbow smile.
Because, Mona Lisa has the most expensive smile on planet earth and planet smile.

But now,
when Mona Lisa is been tickled from teeth to toe, her smile; gladly frowns, because of the bitter catastrophe the world is frowning and groaning through.

All though, she is protected in the most secured museum, to hide her away from being kidnapped by Sandy hurricane, or get consumed by the worlds tribulations.

And she is also been auctioned for over a hundred million dollars; just to make sure; that the rainbow smile remains on her Florence face, but her smile; still frowns.
Because she is constantly waiting for the day, the earth shall sue the heaven's to court; for striking down the unwanted fallen angel to earth, and causing unfriendly hurricanes and numerous deserters, to sip away her loved ones, that sweat; just to appreciate her mistic smile.

They polish so hard; to hide Mona Lisa; behind a fat smile, so as to put her fat frown to sleep.
But her frown still tip-toes on relay; whispering through the colours of her original breathing beauty.
Which sails in an emotion of muse; and dances around inspiration, love, hurt, power, temper, creativity, wealth, betrayal, lessons, and wisdom.

And even at midnight, when sight and light starts to shrink; this inks up her memories and mocks the regalia of her smile, with transcending frowning echoes.
