Like the Mona Lisa

Where's he going with that chair
His legs are strong his arms are bare
Has he come back from the beach
For me that journey’s out of reach
It’s not a beach chair, much too strong
I couldn’t sit in it for long
Strange the things you see outside
As I sit here with my window wide
Confined to bed, can hardly walk
I wish he’d stop just for a talk
But he’s on a job, a real mission
Cannot stop without permission
I’ll have to wait another day
To hear a passing stranger say
Hello! Good day, how are you?
Can I pop in and share a brew?
If he turns and looks, I’ll wave
Don’t do that don’t misbehave
Like the Mona Lisa it’s my game
To stay a mystery in the frame




Excellent work, love the wistful tone.
Great writing!
A wonderful interpretation of the picture. Good stuff, John
