More about he Delaware Zwaanendael Merman Poem

In Delaware's history, a legend is told,
Of a merman with mysteries yet untold.
With the body of a fish and a man's upper part,
The Zwaanendael Merman, a creature of art.
His tail was scaly, his torso bare,
His face and hands, human-like and fair.
A curiosity of the sea, a strange delight,
The Zwaanendael Merman, an enigmatic sight.
He was found in a shipwreck, or so they say,
Preserved in brine, to this very day.
A marvel on display, in a museum so grand,
A creature from the sea, in a foreign land.
But was he real, or just a hoax?
A clever creation, an elaborate joke?

A legendary creature, forever renowned.
So, if you visit Delaware's shores so bright,
Keep an eye out, for a curious sight.
The Zwaanendael Merman, a legendary tale,
A merman's mystery, that will forever prevail.
