Perhaps mermaids play this touching game, ‘Neath waves not as grand as an ocean?
Or a look at the label of you sweater’s manufacturer, if you happen to have such a notion?
Four actors working in a line of endless combination,
Defining life in every clime and every known location.
What am I?

Anyone want to hazard a guess?
I was thinking the four seasons, sea-something for the mermaid clue, and nothing at all for sweater
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
touching game = tag?
waves not grand as an ocean = sea?
Or a look at the label of you sweater’s manufacturer = tag see?
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell

All I can think of are "taxi" ("tag sea") and seasons (for the last line)....
But I can't think beyond this....
Although taxi is a good guess, it is not correct.
With the clues Tag and Sea, read the rest of the riddle...and think discretely.
The last line doesn't refer to the 4 Seasons...but refers to all life, in general.
DNA!
T-A-G and C!
Is that it?
Why, Yes it is, John_And_Yoko.Great job! A Deoxyribonucleic acid filled goose to you, my friend.
Thanks!Why, Yes it is, John_And_Yoko.
I just thought, "Okay, what does ALL life in general have in common?" "All" life made me think of bacteria as well as multi-celled life (I have a background in biology), so then I looked at the "four actors working in a line of endless combination," and it hit me--DNA!
Then I realized that the nucleic acids themselves were in the answers you gave already:
"Tag" is spelled "T-A-G" (Tyrosine, adenine, guanine), and "sea" sounds like the letter "C" (cytosine).
That was a great riddle, and I'm so glad I got it!
wonderful riddle, and beautiful poem, too!

Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
Am I to understand that Gabe is giving away acid for solving his riddles?
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
I...hope you know what deoxyribonucleic acid is....

Yes, silly.
I trip on it all the time...Its like I'm floating up through a double helix.
