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.
