The poem "Chivy" by  talks about how parents and  try to impose  on children and order them. He talks about how they ask  to sit or stand according to their wish. They ask them to  rather than helping them with it. Children are even taught to eat food, not to talk when they have food, not to rest their  on the table etc. They are also taught , but the   behind it is not explained. They are taught not to  at anyone or stare at anything as it might grab attention. They are taught to use  like thank you and please, but are not told when and why one must use them. They are always expected to be , not to slouch or drag their feet. Normal things like making noise is looked down upon. The poet finally questions how one can expect a child to make its own  when every order is already given to them.
