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.
