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.
