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.
