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.
