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.
