1881. Practical to the End

My grandpa,
Harry,
In the last
Three years
Of his long life
Kept
Safety pinned
To the back
Of his recliner
A note titled,
"What to do
If Harry is dead"
It simply said
Who to call
And what
Next steps
To follow
About coroners
Insurance
Paperwork
And burial
That was him
Thoughtful
And practical
To the end
