'Chivvy' is a short poem by Michael Rosen which is focussed on the unreasonable behavior and comments given by adults for the children. Children are advised and instructed to do every little thing as per what the adults say, like pull your socks up, don't drag your feet, don't speak when your mouth is full and things like that. In the concluding lines, there is a question which seems a mismatch with the rest of the poem, i.e. 'Can you make your mind up about anything?' It seems ridiculous as in the first place children are interfered in all aspects of life and then they are expected to take their own decisions.
