Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Sylvia

Somewhere off the Florida Keys
Lives a fish named Sylvia, who
Is just as friendly as you please,
And measures about six foot two.
Atlantic goliath grouper,
And named by Fabian Cousteau,
Who thought she was just so super
In curiosity she'd show
In humans being undersea,
Probably wondering what kind
Of fish these strange humans might be.
Strange - but Sylvia did not mind.

Most groupers are hermaphrodite,
But Sylvia still sounds all right.
