On going through the bags when coming home from the Con I 
found several bits of scrappy paper with words that I'd 
*almost* indecipherably scribbled on them in some drunken
haze or other.. as most of them seemed to be along the
lines of a tribute to the hard working people who made 
the Con possible, I thought I ought to do something with
them.. so here's one.. be warned, there will probably be 
more! 			

*(Chorus)* 	
Their badges were pinkly distinctive, 				
Their diligence was truly grand! 				
And if you called out "Security", 				
They left with the trouble in hand! 				 			

In parties of three, with a radio 			
They travelled round from floor to floor, 			
In hourly patrols of the hotel 			
They leant against every door. 			

*(Chorus)* 			

They stood at every doorway 			
And checked for a badge on display, 			
Then if one wasn't forthcoming 			
They purposefully stood in your way. 			

*(Chorus)* 			

So to all the folks in "Security" 			
Whose vigilance sure was not slack, 			
I'm raising my glass to all of you. 			
Give yourselves a big pat on the back! 			

*(Chorus)*
