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.
