Merman-Mermaid

MERMAN-MERMAID

                          Life started in Sea with water-borne cell.
                          Progress of evolution yields fish
                          Fins to swim and tail to propel.
                          On further evolution
                          turned human above waist.  
                          Female named as Mermaid
                          Male termed Merman.
                          New Species.
                          Half Fish
                          Wow!

                             The
                          couple
                        of half-fish
                    Merman-Mermaid    
               made dive to seabed.
       to play free, hide and seek,
   dance on tail as seals perform,
   where coral polyps held in reef,
  and to make friends with sea cucumbers,
  sea stars and sponges clinging to seafloor.
