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.
