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.
