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.
