Your Smile is Questionable

Let’s face it, Mona. One lip’s curling up.
The other’s winding down.
Am I your frisky pup
or the latest clown?

Are you sneering while I wow
or hiding as I play?
Am I the cat’s meow
or a barge in the bay?

Turn me down with a sneer.
Dance Apache up my back.
I’m uncertain as you near.
Are we to kiss or attack?

Leonardo never finished a painting.
Wanted to touch up a thing or two.
Lisa consider fainting.
Must I die to meet you!

It’s all about the illusion.
Can’t decide where to look.
Caught in dire confusion.
Right-left snag your latest snook!

DaVinci was probably dyslexic.
He signed his name upside down.
I think I’m anorexic.
Please save me from that frown!
