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.
