Off the East Australian shore.
Were discovered quite strange critters
That no one has seen before.
In the varied panorama
Of marine life's vast domain.
This new genus, dendrogramma,
Waits for research to explain
How these mushroom looking creatures
Live, and breathe, and propagate,
What arrangements and what features
Helps them, in the dark, to find a mate?.
Are they animal or fish?
What is their DNA?
And in which of life's niche
Do they fit in life's array?
Will this slimy looking find
Offer a brand new solution
To our ever-seeking mind,
Probing life's evolution?...
