Earl Grey Or Just Darjeeling

I have a funny feeling.
 It is all so unappealing.
 The dollar's hit the ceiling. 
 This may  send the markets reeling.
 If the markets hit the floor,
  Paul says we'll all be poor.
 Oh, how beastly! What a bore!
  But Peter's not so sure:

"Whenever markets crash, 
 it's time to make a splash,"
 and, as Grandma used to say,
  "There'll be another day."

It's time for an excursion,
 not for worry but diversion.
 Who's for cream cakes and tea in Ealing?
 Earl Grey or just Darjeeling?
 We'll have to mend our fences
 and go easy on expenses.

On this may all agree.
 It's always time for tea.
