Arts and Letters Club's Mona - a photo on Flickriver

Arts and Letters Club's Mona

            Canada's venerable Arts and Letters Club has an odd piece of art next to the basement urinals. The downtown club, once the bar of choice for members of the Group of Seven, have had this Mona Lisa print on the walls for decades.  There is even a 21-year old sonnet (by Dr Jim Parr) beside it that has this oft-quoted  first quatrain:

By the A&L urinal,
Mona Lisa's smile divine'll
Scares the pants off men of letters
As she sizes up their wetters.
