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.
