Everything Stops For Tea

Introduction

I wanted to try a new poetic form, and this challenge has allowed me to do this, but the sestina is too much for this, so I will give you an ekphrastic limerick, but I will write a sestina this weekend. I have something that I can apply the form to.

This is the challenge if you want to investigate:

The music is "Everything Stops For Tea" by Long John Baldry, written by Al Goodhart, Al Hoffman, and Maurice Sigler for the 1935 musical film Come Out of the Pantry.
