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.
