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.
