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.
