What if I became a shark?

If I was a shark, would it make me bark?

I'd be deep in the sea,

swimming, happy as a bee.

Or would I live somewhere in a park?

I'll be honest... I don't know if this type of thing is a proper limerick but I wanted to try Mother Combs's challenge, which you can read about here...
