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.
