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.
