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.
