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.
