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.
