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.
