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.
