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.
