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.
