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.
