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.
