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.
