I'm looking for a poem that includes the line "I'll bring my tools,
just in case." Any ideas?
I heard the poem on "The Writers Almanac" with Garrison Keillor about
2 years ago so I'm sure someone considers it a poem. The poem involved
a conversation between a man and his wife in which she comments that
it will be so nice not to have to work when dead. He replies that he
will take his tools just in case.

Are you sure that the poem you heard was broadcast after January 2001?
And are you sure that it contained the word "tools" (or some related
word like "tool" or "toolbox")? These details (and any other details
that you can recall) could help us find it for you.

I am unsure as to the broadcast date but am sure of the other details.
The broadcast date could have been as early as 1998.
Hello evad-ga
I have located a teacher's notes that include a poem about always
bringing tools, but I don't consider it a poem about death. The sense
of the poem is that in old times a workman always carried his tools,
just in case. The poem goes on to conclude that nowadays words and so
forth are what the poet carries so they're ready if needed.
Are you sure your poem is about death? Let me know if you want me to
provide the poem that I found as your answer.
Thanks,
