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.
