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.
