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.
