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.
