“Rubbish!” said Dad..
“Now we’ll try Plan C.
Easy as winking;
Easy as winking;
To a climber like me!”

On the garden wall.

He did’t fall

Stanza \(9\) depicts the scene in which the child's father disregarded his wife's warnings and pleas and devised a new strategy (plan c), proclaiming himself to be a great climber once more. He also dismissed his wife's remarks, calling them "rubbish".
