If I had a Pet Shark

If I had a pet shark
I would name him Pete
He and I would swim together in a coral reef
I would point out game, and he would laugh

I would teach Pete how to speak American
I would teach him how to read
so that he could read my little hit list
I would point out who he should eat

I would skip cursive though
No one uses that any more
