We were not exactly satisfied
Concerning our gas bill
And we registered a protest.
The man in the gas office
Was very pleasant about it
And said he would attend to the
Matter at once which he did.
He sent a man up to the house
To read our meter and, meantime,
Telephoned us to go down cellar
With the man and read the meter
At the same time he read it
So there would be no mistake.
Well, the man got to the house
And we followed instructions
And went down stairs with him
And he pulled out book
And took note of the meter
And asked US to look at the meter
With all its little dials.
After we, had looked at the thing,
He marked down some figures
And said: "Now, is everything
All right and o. X" and we said:
"Surest thing you know"
We don't know yet how he got the fig
ures
That he marked down in the book,
All of which goes to show
How man will lie as we did,
Just to save his pride-Also
1t goes to show
That you can't skin gas company.
