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.
