Truth Behind Myth Mermaid

Truth Behind Myth: Mermaid

                           Life started in sea.
                        Evolution yielded varieties of  fish
                          Evolution went on natural selection
                                                           
                Fantastic species evolved.
                  Fish with tail, raised human head,
                  Above waist human,
                  below waist shiny scaly fish tail
                     swam propelling hands.
            Male version Merman and female Mermaid came.
             Not at all Mythical, but actually Ancestral.
                      Ages were passing.
                        Evolution ran through ages
                          Tail was transformed to legs
                  First male child born to Merman-Mermaid couple.
                                  named ‘Adam’
                      Baby girl born to second couple.
                                   called as 'Eve'.
                        Children swam at sea.
                  Both walked and played on sea shore.
                          First Man and Woman Adam- Eve: Couple
                           left sea and settled on land.
                        They set up beautiful Eden Garden set.
             Once Eve plucked one apple and ate half.
                      She hid behind tree.
                Adam took rest half.
                        Both attained wisdom.
                      Eve started wearing leaf string with clams and pearls.
                            Adam put a twig.
