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.
