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.
