How SDG&E Almost Stole Xmas

Every San Diegan in

San Diego liked Christmas a

lot.

But SDG&E DID NOT!

Like the Grinch, SDG&E

hated San Diego and the

whole Christmas season,

So it jacked up its rates with

no good cause or reason!

From its plush corporate lair

high atop Sempra Tower,

It schemed and it plotted

to make us pay more

for our power.

.

Now it could be its head

wasn't screwed on quite

right.

It could be, perhaps, that

its bank account was too

tight.

But we think the biggest

reason of all was

it truly believed that

bills were too small.

But, whatever the reason,

-its head or accounts -

it found sneaky new ways

to raise the amounts.

Like demanding more cash

for power lines to be built

with YOUR Christmas money,

but it felt no guilt.

"Surely I've done it, " it snarled

with a sneer.

"Why I've raised rates so high

there's no room for good

cheer!"

But San Diegans weren't scared

-they weren't scared at all.

They knew that with UCAN

watching, the threats were

quite small.

So SDG&E didn't stop

Christmas from coming.

And SDG&E, with a heart

cold as snow, watched

puzzling and puzzling.

Then SDG&E thought of

something it hadn't before!

"Why San Diego has a

watch dog that's guarding

its door!"

Unlike the Grinch, SDG&E

didn't celebrate Christmas

that night.

No, it probably will

never change, but

we suppose that is

alright

Because UCAN will

never back down

from a fight.

Until there is rate

justice for all, and

we all have cheap

lights.
