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.
