In response to Kathy B.'s request to send comforting words of support to Jack
Newman after the Indian reservation situation.
With hope that Dr Jack reads this with a bit of humor and knowing the
appreciation and affection that many have for him.


                                        Ode to Jack
        By Deborah Tobin for Lactnetters Worldwide


There is a good doctor named Jack
Whose response is ARRRGH not ACK
He fights the good fight
Never wrong, just right
Pouring truth in a big web sack

His opinions are many and famous
Some in particular we love, can't blame us
In describing appreciation
Of a woman's lactation
He gives us strength for when our foes oft flame us

On the breastfeeding ignorance alter
Dr Jack keeps keen watch not to falter
Alert day and night
With wit and might
So that mums have milk aplenty in halter

When needed he's tough, not rash
Tho he has little patience for trash
Lactnetters in the know
Say "Go Jack Go!"
And he always stands up to a bash

When a mother was told not to nurse her papoose
Dr Jack lit up and then promptly let loose
He told the whole story
Sought justice, not glory
His was a most suitable deuce

There is a good doctor named Jack
Who's wisdom we never will lack
For he tells the whole world
Of truth unfurled
And the world gives much love back
