Read: Why nobody pets the Lion at the zoo by John Ciardi

The morning that the world began The Lion growled a growl at Man.

And I suspect the Lion might (If he’d been closer) have tried a bite.

I think that’s as it ought to be And not as it was taught to me.

I think the Lion has a right To growl a growl and bite a bite.

And if the Lion bothered Adam, He should have growled right back at ’im.

The way to treat a Lion right Is growl for growl and bite for bite.

True, the Lion is better fit For biting than for being bit.

But if you look him in the eye You’ll find the Lion’s rather shy.

He really wants someone to pet him. The trouble is: his teeth won’t let him.

He has a heart of gold beneath But the Lion just can’t trust his teeth.

Make Lemon Drizzle cake

What you will need: • A loaf tin • Mixing bowl • Spoon • Greaseproof paper • A skewer • Grater • 225g unsalted butter • 225g caster sugar • 4 eggs • 225 self-raising flour • 1 lemon, zested • 1 ½ lemons, juiced • 85g caster sugar

Method: 1) Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

2) Beat together the butter and caster sugar until pale and creamy, then add the eggs, one at a time, slowly mixing through.

3) Sift in the self-raising flour, then add the lemon zest and mix until well combined.

4) Line a loaf tin (8 x 21cm) with greaseproof paper, then spoon in the mixture and level the top with a spoon.

5) Bake for 45-50 mins until a thin skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.

6) While the cake is cooling in its tin, mix together the lemons juice and caster sugar to make the drizzle.

7) Prick the warm cake all over with a skewer or fork, then pour over the drizzle – the juice will sink in and the sugar will form a lovely, crisp topping.

8) Leave in the tin until completely cool, then remove and serve.
