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.
