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.
