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.
