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.
