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.
