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.
