GOING TO BED
by Marchette Chute
I am always told to hurry up the Which I'd be glad to, If there were not so many things That need attending to Jud
But first I have to find my towel Which fell behind the rack And when a pillow's throwmeat I have to throw it back
And then I have to get the things I need in bed with me Like marbles and my birthday train And Pete the chimpanzee.
I have to see my polliwog Is safety in its pan, And stand a minute on my head To be quite sure I can.
I haved bounce upon my head elope To see if it will sink, And then when I am covered up UC I find I need a drink.

4. The toys the speaker says she must take to bed with her are marbles, her birthday train, and Pete the chimpanzee. The lines that tell you this are, "and then I have to get the things I need in bed with me like marbles and my birthday train and Pete the chimpanzee."
5. The speaker says she must see if her Polliwog is safe in its pan, stand on her head, bounce upon her bed, and get a drink. The lines that tell you this are, "I have to see my polliwog is safety in its pan, and stand a minute on my head to be quite sure I can. I have bounced upon my bed elope to see if it will sink, and then when I am covered up uc I find I need a drink."
6. No, the speaker probably does not need to do each of these things. They seem like unnecessary tasks and could be seen as delaying tactics to avoid going to bed.
