The Sardonic Smile

Faint mysterious humour was just a facial rumour, although you knew she meant business when you were with her; I was carried under my master's arm for ten years, when I was finished, nothing was as it appears. I smiled because I knew I would be worth a fortune, finally placed in the Louvre, not for sale anytime soon; La Giaconda looked at me with her mystery,' for five hundred years she had sailed thro' history. I sat for a long time while Leo created my face, suddenly it was done, everything moved at a pace, no one would ever match my inscrutable look, or really appreciate just how long it took. You wondered why my smile was brought about by a new lease, it was because I caught a glimpse of Leo's private parts behind his codpiece.
