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.
