Time a poet composed something for the breakfast table? (6)
I believe the answer is:
teapot
'something for the breakfast table?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'time a poet composed' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'composed' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'poet'='apoet'
'apoet' with letters rearranged gives 'eapot'.
't'+'eapot'='TEAPOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teapot that I've seen before include "Cuppa brewer" , "Hot drink dispenser" , "Vessel for brewing leaves" , "Container for a brew" , "where one might find leaves" .)
