John Coleman Poem by Francis Duggan

John Coleman is a healer he hails from Dublin Town
And in The Dandenong Ranges of Victoria he has earned his renown
For helping unhealthy people to a better state of health
His motto a good constitution better to you than wealth.

Well liked by all who know him the word's been spread around
That John Coleman he will help you if you're physically unsound
With his hands he has performed miracles his type of person rare
Truly one of the people and for people he care.

John Coleman he helps everyone even those in poverty
He says if you're short of money you don't have to pay me
To grow wealthy out of healing others is not in his life's plan
'Tis no wonder that so many think highly of the man.

So likeable and witty and good in every way
Of John of Kalorama I've yet to hear one say
One negative word about him he is looked on as a true great
The fellow with the healing hands is to many a good mate.

With the energy in his healing hands he has eased many an ache and pain
And a great loss to Dublin is Kalorama's gain
John Coleman is a legend in the Mountain Countryside
And in The Dandenong Ranges he is known far and wide.
