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.
