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.
