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.
