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.
