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.
