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.
