Mr. Alfred Calabro is
a 79-year-old patient 
of Dr. Hall and was 
inspired to write a 
tribute to the doctor 
and the profession. 
He developed a poster 
illustrating his words 
and he sent me a copy:

The Chiropractor

My low back hurts
I can't stand straight
My whole spine seems
a figure 8

My neck feels stiff
It's got a kink
The pain's so bad
I cannot think

And when I walk
it's with a limp
I turn my hips
I get a crimp

Afraid to move
I cannot dress
I feel I am
an awful mess

I really must
go see a doctor
The man who is
my chiropractor

With healing hands
and gentle touch
He finds the spots
that hurt so much

A pulling here
a thrusting there
He moves my spine
with tender care

My low back's better
my neck feels fine
I once more have
a straightened spine

My hips turn free
I now stand straight
Know somethin' Doc
You're really great!

Alfred A. Calabro
