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.
