Elves Live In  The Land     
       Beyond The Great Dam.      
  It  Was Built In  The Late  Sixties.  
    The Elves Came To Us  Then.     
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came  To Trust Them.          Us 
 Kids  Would Play  Down At The Water Even 
 Though We Were Not Allowed.        
    Sometimes  The Sluice  Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And  The  River  At  The Dams 
 Foot Would Dry Up,  Revealing The  Rocky 
 Water  Garden   That  Had   Been  Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would  Go There.     
        Before  The Dam Opened Again, 
 There Would  Be A Signal,  But The Elves 
 Would Make Us Not Hear  It, And Suddenly 
 We Would Find The  Water Rising, Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
   By  Then The Elves  Would Be  Gone.
