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.
