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.
