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.
