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.
