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.
