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.
