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.
