I rather like the idea that Mona Lisa might have found her cat's expression as intriguing as we do hers.
MONA LISA’S CAT
Mona Lisa strokes her kitty,
whispers Bella, Bella, Bella ...
She’s besotted by her Bella,
even though the dusky feline
seems contemptuous and haughty.
Mona Lisa, Gioconda,
finds the creature mesmerising:
she stares at her cat in wonder
and spends ages speculating
on its enigmatic smile.
