Explanation:

Rudyard Kipling's short children poem "Playing Robinson Crusoe" is a short fun poem where the speaker speaks of his pets. This poem is part of the collection of poems "Poems That Every Child Should Know".

In the poem, the child speaker tells how he prefers Binkie, his dog, as compared to Pu ssy, the cat. The given lines are from the second stanza where he compares the two pets, Pu ssy does what she wants and "won't attend" to the wishes of the child. But Binkie "is [his] true first Friend" who "will play whatever [he] chooses".

Thus, the effect of the lines on the tone is that the phrase "whatever I choose" conveys the demanding tone of the speaker. This is supported by the fact that he prefers the dog instead of the cat because of their loyalty and obedience.

well this isn't a question but if you are asking if it is true or false it is, true.
