Sitting in the doorway
Doing ‘meet and greet’
Checking people’s tickets
Getting frozen feet
But the smiles on the faces
Warm me to the heart
And I am glad to be here
Just doing my small part
Everyone’s so friendly
The talks all interesting too
So to the authors and the organisers
A very big thank you.
