Grace for the 2007 HCI Annual Dinner
composed and delivered by Roger Bishop

Oh Lord from all compass points we've gathered here,
and aired our views for another year.
We've met old friends and welcomed new,
We're the HCI and it's our annual 'do'.

So Lord, look down hear what we say,
Keep indigestion well at bay.
Bless vegetarians and those with meat,
Thanks Lord for what we're about to eat.
