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.
