But and up down brushin'                                                     And pokin and fussin' Didn't seem worth the time -1 could bite! What do these lines convey?

Answer:

                In these lines, the poetess described that she did not follow a proper pattern of brushing the teeth. She did not brush her teeth by moving the brush up and down in all the right directions and did not spend enough time on brushing her teeth, as she could bite comfortably.
