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.
